That was one of my favorite quotes/thoughts from the book. I’m still pondering it in relation to different things I’m tempted with: what do my choices reveal about my relationship?

Sounds like a really good book. Thanks for sharing.

Short answer: Just as I think of Jesus and God as persons, so the Holy Spirit, as a third entity. I think the name “Spirit” can throw us off–I grew up hearing him called the “Holy Ghost” which was a little spooky as a child. ha.

Please could you explain briefly (or point/link) how the holy spirit is a person?

Thank you

I agree we definitely need to think of the Holy Spirit as more of a person than a floating, wispy “thing.” I love when people even drop the “the” and just call him “Holy Spirit” because he sounds even more real to me when addressed that way.

It is a beautiful Saturday here where I am; hope the same for you, too!

I love that quote about the Holy Spirit being a person, not an ‘it’. I think there is a tendency to think of the Holy Spirit as wind/love/heat, but not as a distinct part of God’s person. Great insight!

And the focus of Paul working on listening to himself and not others is just key. I am trying to do that more this Lenten season.

Hope you are having a great weekend 🙂

He is a man of integrity, so yes, you would like him because I know that’s a quality you value and live out yourself.
