Many today love to have the preeminence (3 John 1:9) like Diotrephes of old. Man desires a position. God takes a servant and gives him a job to do.

Many of the teachings about the Holy Ghost are false. But that is no reason to ignore Him. The Bible says much about the Holy Spirit and His working in the life of the believer. In scripture, the dove is given as a type and picture of the Holy Ghost. This type provides much valuable teaching and direction.

The storms and trials of life are as sure to come your way as the breath you just took. We must work not to get bitter in the storm but, rather rejoice that our Father is allowing us another opportunity to learn.
