Before the world was born, a giant, lone, barren planet, stood at what seemed to be the center of the universe. God had created the spirit of Hellix, and the Solar Blade. This planet had a red-brown tint to its ground, covered in Ignis Redstone powder, the most flammable substance in the universe. The ground was completely rugged, with cracks all over the surface. The spirit of Hellix was spawned onto the surface of the giant planet, holding the Solar Blade. Hellix made his long embarkment to…

that has immersed and filled our soul with the Holy Spirit from on high. When the sound of the rushing wind hit, it was but an instant when all the house shook. No sooner than that happened cloven tongues of fire set upon each of their foreheads, and they began to speak in a different language. Mass confusion? no but the power and glory of God filled that upper room that day. Out of the status quo came a glorious infilling of God’s Holy spirit that has made its mark on people all over the world…

person’s body. The author, Paul F. M. Zahl charges such worship as a formality of a liturgy worship in some churches, which is outlined in the text: • The first charge, the fundamental and central one, is that formal-liturgical worship quenches the Holy Spirit. That is to say, by addressing God in forms and by doing it the same way within an ever-repeating cycle of occasions—such as Sundays, baptisms, marriages, and funerals—the church is trying to tie God’s hands. The church is conspiring to…

According to Catholic teaching, anyone can receive a baptism, unless they have been baptised before using…

the election and mercy of God, the imputation of Christ, and the impartation by the Holy Spirit lead me to a point in which I no longer am defined by my sin nature. Literally, my sin nature died when Christ died. When Jesus died as our Christus Victor, he defeated death. As Paul says, I become a new person, the old one is dead, and my new birth has been complete. I am a new person, because the Holy Spirit imparts God’s holiness into my life and transforms me to be more like…

By wanting to obey God’s commands, their approach and attitude towards others will change. “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh…

Let’s not forget that the fruit of the Spirit was described in direct contrast with worldly fruit. Paul makes it very…

1)The definition of Christian Spiritual Formation that John Ortberg gives us is simple but powerful. He defines it as " the process by which your inner self and character are shaped." "This is where the human spirit or will is given a definite character. It is where you take shape." I personally like this definition I found on (CRN)."Spiritual formation is a process, but it is also a journey through which we open our hearts to a deeper connection with God.
