The Holy Ghost

It is amazing how we preach the word of God and yet not preach Christian. I found out that Christian preaching has to involve Christ. If Christ is not part of the message, then your message is not Christian. We must keep Christ in our message because without him we can’t see God. In my reading from Dr. Gardener C. Taylor, I understand now that it is important to keep our preaching Christian. He talked about the Holy Ghost and the responsibility of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is to lead, guide, and teach us all things that Christ has said. I do believe that the Holy Ghost plays an important part in our lives and proclaiming God’s word. To me, it is the Holy Ghost that helps us to keep God’s word embedded in our hearts. The council of Nicene of 325 AD. helped to bring to mind that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost work as one. I think that this sets the very foundation of our belief in the Trinity. Those 220 Bishops really had their job cut out for them. I do believe that this session took a while to come to an end. The Nicene Creed set the standard for the Rankins 2

I realized through Dr. Taylor’s essay, that Jesus by the way of Calvary tore us from the grip of sin and returned our souls to God. Sometimes we give too much credit to the Holy Ghost during worship service and forget that the Holy Ghost’s job is to lift up Jesus, so therefore Jesus should be the very center of our preaching and worship experience. Christ is the head of the church and God is the head of Christ, so I think as we magnify God, we should also glorify Christ, and be lead by the Holy

    In fact, the apostle Paul says no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:3). Hence, the lordship of Jesus is inextricably linked with the work of the Spirit. This third person of the Trinity, is affirmed in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, as the one who “proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified.” The years I have served as pastor have deepened my conception of the work of the Holy Spirit in the arenas of personal faith, the community of believers, and responsible living in the world. Before we are even aware, God is initiating a relationship with us through the Holy Spirit.…

    The Doctrine and Covenants is a book of divine revelations, given to members of the Church of Jesus Christ, to help further the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom and contains an invitation to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. As one engulfs oneself into the Doctrine and Covenants, one will find out that, just as the Book of Mormon is the keystone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Doctrine and Covenants is a companion to the Book of Mormon and is the capstone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Doctrine and Covenants gives new insight to gospel topics and one can further partake of the bread of life as one drinketh from the pages of the Doctrine and Covenants to come closer to Christ.…

    As a minister, I feel it is my job to communicate, in word and deed, the unchanging Gospel to the modern generation in ways that help people to understand Christ clearly. Early on in my Christian walk it was apparent to not only me, but also to those in leadership roles within the church – elders, ministers, etc. – that there was a call upon my life to enter the ministry. I was quickly taken under the guidance of the lead Preacher in my local…

Since, Jesus has not inaugurated the rest kingdom people must observe the “Sabbath-rest…, for the kingdom has not yet come in its fullness.

    The last words of Jesus Christ instructed His people to spread the Gospel to the world. Known as “The Great Commission,” ¬every Christian is commanded to tell others about Christ. However, in the generation of 2016, millions of people have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ. How is it possible Christ’s last words may appear to have gone unheeded? No one has told these millions that there is a loving God Who died for them and longs for their trust to be put in Him.…

    The believer now has the responsibility to serve others within the community of faith. The perfect example of true servant-hood is Christ Himself. He lived a life free from enslaving lusts and instead chose to be a slave to the needs of others. The Holy Spirit is the power behind the believer’s ability to serve and bear fruit. As believers serve one another by being controlled by the Spirit, it will then effect the lives of the other believers, causing them to bear fruit in their own lives.…

    (Isaiah 28:9). We must grow into spiritual maturity by eating the meat of God’s Word and leaving the milk behind. In fact, in many churches, you not only get the milk bottle, but in many cases, it is sour milk. Many Christians and even preachers are exposed to those who know better, as we see them drinking the milk, teaching the milk, and choking on the meat when it comes to “precept must be upon precept.” Our reasoning for this is that if they did apply all the scriptures in the entire Bible to their doctrines and daily lives, it may just expose something they do not want exposed.…
