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 Book of Philippians is a very practical book. In it we find many admonitions to the believer of how to carry out the work of Jesus Christ while on this earth.
The lepers were told to go without the camp. At one time it was a place of uncleanness, yet we are called to go outside the camp.
We have heard much of my life of the danger of <em>sinning away</em> our day of grace. This idea is that the Holy Spirit will only work in our hearts for so long, but at some time will cease and we are at that time, even if still alive, condemned to hell. Is it a Bible teaching? Is it possible that there are people among us who could never get saved?
