Is Our Church a Charismatic Church?

While we do not regard ourselves a charismatic church, we do not wish to be known as “anti-charismatic.” What we do insist upon is a spirit of love and unity, the total sufficiency of Christ, and the final authority of the Scriptures.

How do you sense the leading of the Holy Spirit?

How do you sense the leading of the Holy Spirit? Is it through reading Scripture, a Scripture that comes to mind, or an idea that won’t go away?

Each of those ways. For me, it begins with Scripture, because I never have to wonder if it’s from God. I know it is. Seems odd to me to ask for God’s direction in dozens of secondary areas if I’m disobeying what He says is His will in primary areas.

Sometimes sensing the Spirit’s leading is subjective, but it can be very clear that He wants me ...

A. W. Tozer: The Holy Spirit

Just Turning the Crank

So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6)

I say this because it is possible to run a church and all of its activity without the Holy Spirit. You can organize it, get a board together, call a pastor, form a choir, launch a Sunday school and a ladies’ aid society. You get it all organized—and the organization part is not bad. I’m for it. But I’m ...

What Does Eternal Life Mean?

Jesus said, “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

Jesus promised that someday we’ll live forever with him. That means we’ll live again after we die.

What does Scripture say about false teachers and the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit?

It is interesting to observe that antichristian groups rarely try to lead lost sinners to their false faith. Instead, they spend much of their time trying to convert professing Christians (and church members, at that) to their own doctrines. They are out to “seduce” the faithful.

Will the Holy Spirit have a function in the New Heaven?

Clearly, since the Holy Spirit is a member of the triune God, he will be present for all eternity, no doubt taking an active role in the creation and among God’s people. However, the Bible doesn’t specifically answer the question of exactly what His role will be.
