Following your desires is a cinch to quench God’s Spirit
An employer doesn’t want you to follow your desires, but to obey his instructions. The same with God. Putting your desires above God’s desires is called quenching the Spirit. If you continually put your desires above your employer’s desires (or … Continue reading
Everything you need to know about quenching the Spirit
When the fruit of the Spirit isn’t freely flowing from within, we’re quenching the Holy Spirit. Here’s how we do that. Love: Self-focused Christians are shutting down the inner flow God’s love. Joy: Angry Christians are missing out on God’s … Continue reading
Christianity should never be without awe!
Christianity need never be without awe, miracles, wonders, spiritual gifts, and other direct interactions with the living Jesus. I don’t know how anybody can experience Jesus daily and not be continually thrilled about Him. The Holy Spirit is the world’s … Continue reading

Seeing God speak and work in and through ordinary people is one of my greatest joys. If given encouragement, freedom, and a platform, everyday people can share amazing words from God. Biblical Christianity is activating. It takes ordinary people and … Continue reading

Unleashing God’s creativity is fun
Christ-followers should be flowing in creativity because they have the Creator living in them. “Quench not the Spirit.” The Holy Spirit doesn’t just want you to share what you’ve read and copied. He wants to speak something fresh to you. … Continue reading
Who can conduct a revival — a spiritual awakening?
A preacher can conduct a church service, but only God can conduct a revival — a spiritual awakening. In a church service a preacher follows a program. In a spiritual awakening people surrender to the living God. In Acts chapter … Continue reading
Fruity rivers of living water (an inner smoothie)
The fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, etc.) can’t be taught by sermons, but will spontaneously flow from a heart aglow with Christ. Church can confine us with strings of outward obligation. Christ want to free us to flow with … Continue reading
