I started reading Francis Chan's Forgotten God today. It's funny how that is really all i can muster, not that he is light reading at all. It's just written for everyday people and it just so happens that the subject is something i have been thinking a great deal about over the past two years: The HOLY SPIRIT!
i absolutely love the first challenge he gives. Don't just take what you have been taught about the Holy Spirit but read the Bible trying to put aside all your preconceived ideas and notions.
"We may as well face it: the whole level of spirituality among us is low. We have measured ourselves by ourselves until the incentive to seek higher plateaus in the things of the Holy Spirit is all but gone...We have imitated the world, sought more popular favor, manufactured delights to substitute for the joy of the Lord and produced a cheap and synthetic power to substitute for the power of the Holy Ghost."--A.W. Tozer(gotta love me some tozer).
my prayer: teach me God through the Holy Spirit the power we are able to live by every moment and the excitement it brings as i attempt to live for you and bring you glory.
