Resisting the Holy Spirit

by Brianboswell

And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. —Deuteronomy 30_6This week on the Everyday Jesus podcast, we started a discussion on the Holy Spirit. We talked about who He is and the fact that he is actively working in our world today. We also mentioned that the Holy Spirit can be resisted, quenched and grieved. If you missed the podcast, be sure to catch up with us by pressing the play button on the player below:

And I certainly agree that the Holy Spirit has been largely left out of Continue reading “EP # 6 – The Holy Spirit is the forgotten God?” →
