Chapter 12: OPEN YOURSELF TO A NEW PEOPLE
Another example of the Spirit coming when least expected.
SPIRIT PROMPTED PEOPLE ARE CHURCH PEOPLE. “Kevin Vanhoozer, an evangelical theologian, once observed that “it is the life of the church, not the commentary [our explanations of the faith], that is our most important form of biblical interpretation.”
LIVE AS THE BODY OF CHRIST. The Spirit is available for everyone in the body of Christ, not just the leaders.
THE SPIRIT CREATES THE CHURCH. “One cannot be filled with the Spirit and reject the church."
