The Holy Spirit

Over the past fifty years, God has done a mighty work in China. The number of Christ’s followers in China has grown from about one million in 1950 to perhaps one hundred million, or more.

Some observers point to social, economic, and political factors driving this immense movement, but those most familiar with the events all say that the Holy Spirit has been the principal actor.

Doing God's Will

At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus taught his disciples to pray, “Your will be done” (Matthew 6:10).

At the end, just before he was betrayed, he asked that the cup of God’s wrath be taken from him, but, otherwise, “Not as I will, but as You will” (Matthew 26:39).

As we start a new year, we often make resolutions to do better, or more, than last year. Usually, I fall far short of my expectations and plans.
