The hallmark of the preaching which the Spirit effects is 'boldness'... As in the Old Testament, when the Spirit fills the servant of God He 'clothes himself' with that person, and aspects of the Spirit's authority are illustrated in the courageous declaration of the Word of God. This boldness appears to involve exactly what it denotes: there is freedom of speech. We catch occasional glimpses of this in the Acts of the Apostles. What was said of the early New England preacher Thomas Hooker becomes a visible reality: when he preached, those who heard him felt that he could pick up a king and put him in his pocket!

A Message from our Provider:

“Everything else can wait but the search for God cannot wait.#George Harrison, 2001”

How do you glorify God through exercise? 1. It fosters gratitude for legs, heart, and lungs. The older I get the more keenly aware I am of how fragile I am. And every breath I take, if I were able to maintain consciousness of truth, I would give thanks to God that he has given me these. 2. What are your motives in doing it? [Is it] the desire to be both mentally and physically at peak performance for Christian ministry. 3. How [do] you do it? [Modest attire? Noisy? Too rough?]... In other words, are you exercising in a loving way? 4. Finally, do you have an eye to turning it into ministry? In other words, can you draw somebody in with you who needs some help with their discipline? Are you willing to stop along the way to help somebody, like the good Samaritan? Are you willing to do some evangelism along the way so that you stop and share Jesus?

John Piper
