The Power of the Holy Spirit

“You’re prideful and I can’t see your heart and others can’t see your heart as well.” Those were the words I read on the screen.  In a nutshell, her email conveyed she thought I was doing a poor job in ministry. Well, I would have to concur with her.  I am prideful and I wish…

Have you ever been drained or burnt out in ministry?  Ever felt like you couldn’t possibly pour into another human being ever again?  Or maybe you became bitter while serving the Lord?  I’ve been there, my friend, and I must say it isn’t a fun spiritual place to be.
