If forced to choose which of these two treasures would most flavor your Christianity, which would you pick?
Quite the dilemma, isn’t it? Well, thanks be to God that He has never asked us to choose, nor will He. Sadly, many (if not most) churches and denominations want us to do so. A great divorce has occurred and Christians are often forced to pick which parent they will live with: Word or Spirit. The early Church was marked by God with apostolic truth (the Word) and Holy Spirit’s supernatural gifts and power (the Spirit). Why should today’s manifestation of Christianity be any different? We must prioritize both.
In this podcast, Jeff Lyle calls us to embrace the remarriage of Word and Spirit in our own walks and in the churches wherein we worship and serve. We cannot afford to prioritize either one while ignoring the other. The early Christians required both in their generation and so do we.
