Fruit of the Spirit, Part XIV

Being led by the Spirit is not a Pentecostal or charismatic endeavor; it is not about speaking in tongues or some esoteric Baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is not a special anointing or a blessing or a gift we receive from God or...

Do you feel connected to God when you pray? If not, have you considered your outlook on prayer?

How is the Bible different from any other book? Look at the evidence… If the Bible claims to be the Word of God it is a special book. This leads to a very personal question...What does it mean to you?

· IT CLAIMS TO BE THE WORD OF GOD!

· IT IS A BOOK FROM GOD . . .

· It has unity ... in preservation... in content... in influence!
