But I would say can we ever say...Good point James. <BR/><BR/>But I would say can we ever say that somewhere is a "Safe" place for the Spirit? In my limited experience it is when the Spirit is taken for granted that He tends to get ignored and therefore neglected. "Oh we are charismatics. We flew the flag since the 70's!!". So what? Are we STILL walking in the Spirit? Are we STILL bringing tongues and interpretations?! Are we STILL prophesying? Are we STILL hearing Him speak and guide and direct and manifest His Presence?Dan Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661120561123767936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30858116.post-6670411226386755132008-01-20T16:43:00.000+00:002008-01-20T16:43:00.000+00:00"Rather than neglect or quench the Spirit - I need..."Rather than neglect or quench the Spirit - I need to wise up and become a minister OF the Spirit".<BR/><BR/>Oh such wisdom! Such awesome wisdom. Thanks for this great clip - I had forgotten it. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I think the guilty sin of the evangelical church at present is NOT quenching the Spirit (deliberately) but neglecting Him.<BR/><BR/>Agree? Or Disagree?<BR/><BR/>After all - I think Terry would be horrified if he was accused of quenching the Spirit by inviting Mark Driscoll to Brighton. Surely Brighton is one safe place where the Spirit will never be quenched! But it does seem from the seminar topics that the Holy Spirit isn't going to be actively discussed this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
