Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Romans 12:2 — English Standard Version

A CROOKED PATH

 

Why is it those professing to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, children of God, thus Christians only occasionally mention the Holy Spirit, if they ever do at all? Why do those that mention the Holy Spirit not evidence very much in the way of faithfully believing in the power of the Holy Spirit?

Lip service.

Rote is the usual treatment.

Mere words.

Lacking power or fruit.

Where is the true belief in the power of the Individual, the Holy Spirit of God?

In preaching, in those professing to be faithful believers?

Where? Serious questions in need of answers. Especially in the time in which we live.
