That’s the Spirit! How Pentecost Transforms our Lives and Speech
As the church calendar rolls around to Pentecost it is good to take a moment to consider the significance of the events of that day. Pentecost was a Jewish pilgrim harvest festival that saw crowds flocking to Jerusalem to celebrate God’s goodness towards them in the present harvest. It also looked back as they recalled the blessing of God in granting the people of Israel entry to the Promised Land.

Jesus, The Spirit and Us
A second letter responding to a reader’s query about miracles and our critique of the Bethel network. See the first letter here. Dear M_______, In my last letter I responded to some specific verses you cited—verses which might be seen as supporting the idea that we should all be expecting to do miracles like the apostles. I argued that when we look at the context, we see that those miracles were meant to be signs, and that the Bible wants us to focus on the meaning of those signs: Jesus and his great mission.
