The Spirit is compared to the wind, and, like the wind, He cannot be seen by our bodily eyes. But just as we know there is a wind by the effect it produces on waves, and trees, and smoke, so we may know the Spirit is in a man by the effects He produces in the man’s conduct. It is nonsense to suppose that we have the Spirit, if we do not also “walk in the Spirit.” (Gal. 5:25). We may depend on it as a positive certainty, that where there is no holy living, there is no Holy Ghost.

Consideration
by Mike Benson

Mary Brunson was driving the new family SUV and
inadvertently made a wrong turn. To make matters
worse, she then sideswiped another oncoming
vehicle.

In tears she began fumbling through the glove
compartment in an effort to locate the appropriate
insurance papers. When she finally found the
documents, she also discovered a small note
attached in her husband's handwriting. It read
simply:

"Dear Mary, when you read these papers, remember
that it's you I love and not the car."

Gentlemen, that's consideration! The Bible says,
"Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you
live with your wives, and treat them with respect
as the weaker partner as heirs with you of the
gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder
your prayers" (1 Pet. 3:7 NIV). Think about it.
