When the Native American elder talks about the good and evil dogs, he is referring to the conscience and peer pressure of oneself. We determine who we want to be; if we want to be a good person or bad. We choose which dog to feed. Our conscience allows us to think about the decisions we are about to make and stirs us in the right path. However, we are able to ignore that nagging feeling that leans toward the right decision. The Holy Spirit is within us and helps us choose the right thing. God gave us the Holy Spirit for us to make the right choose and to let us become one with Him. It comes in us so that we may know God better in heaven and understand Him. I have fed both sides. When I feed the good dog, I am usually doing a good deed

    Once again, Clark H. Pinnock opens wide my eyes to the power of the Holy Spirit at work in the world through the church. He highlights the need for the church to be empowered by the Spirit in order to complete God’s mission. For example, Pinnock says, “Like Jesus, the church must live not out of its own resources but by the power of the indwelling Spirit, which breathes, strengthens, inspires and guides” (Pinnock 115). This is a huge reminder for me not to depend on the world’s ideas or even my personal talent to communicate the Gospel; but rather, allow the Spirit to work through me. Also, there is a temptation within churches; and even the church I lead, to get “butts in seats” through fancy tactics rather than having people filled with the…

    A couple weeks ago, Holy Ghost had its annual service trip to the Dominican Republic. I had heard about the trip from Dr. O’Connor when I did the summer enrichment program in 6th grade.

The Gospel of John, in the words of John the Baptist, recognizes the relationship between Jesus and the Spirit; “On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit” (John 1:33-34). As such the Spirit is seen as a separate entity who works in conjunction with Jesus in the role of salvation. Understand that the Spirit has always been at play in the world.…

In this paper, I will be talking about the trustworthiness and historicity of the Gospels. The historical reliability of the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles, and did Jesus claim to be God.

    Amidst the dilution and misinterpretation of Scripture in this day and age, J. Todd Billings’ take on how Scripture should be interpreted was utterly refreshing, although extremely repetitive. It is obvious in the first chapter that Billings is in the Trinitarian soteriology camp. He emphasizes constantly throughout his book that reading and interpreting biblical text without the guidance of the Holy Spirit is futile and useless. He uses numerous examples on how Scripture should be read and understood, both individually and as a whole church. Undoubtedly, Billings has an extremely high view that Christians should be made more and more into the image of Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, as they delve deeper into the Word.…

All the dogmas, doctrines, and disciplines that comprise the framework of the Catholic religion mean nothing without faith.…
