Publisher's Synopsis
Melding All for God's Glory to Usher in the Era of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is competing for our attention. He wants to be our rudder, our compass, and our ever-present guide. He is begging humans to acknowledge conflicts and self-defeating behaviors. He needs humans to speak with integrity and compassion. This entire book was conceived and orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. Automatic dictation flows throughout the book. The Holy Spirit has edited what he assigned me to draft. Part one of this book focuses on current issues within our culture and religious practices. Birth and the circle of life are sanctified in his eyes. Fears about the natural ending of planet Earth are put to rest, along with a reasonable approach to sustainability. The hazards of secularism, corruption, bias, and prejudice are discussed in light of a pastor's role. Part two highlights early church errors that still affect religious practice today. The basic tenets of Jews, Christians, and Muslims are outlined. Innate human flaws are seen in character assassinations and the suppression of truth. Humility, truth, and forgiveness are imperatives. What must be included in any Christian doctrine of faith was dictated by the Holy Spirit. The third part of this book paints the trajectory of God's plan for Christian belief and practice. Trust, respect, and attentive listening are the underpinnings for righteous living, and pain and suffering are necessary gauntlets for growth. Crime and justice are balanced against the rights and needs of all humans.
The Holy Spirit needs pastors to avoid self-serving behaviors, to respect differences, and to meet the challenges inherent in the change process. Drawing closer to the Holy Spirit through quiet, attentive prayer is essential.
