Feel Good Religion
Wednesday, April 19, 2017I was told that the Holy Spirit is not here to make us feel good. In my limited knowledge, I believe that the Holy Spirit can make us feel good.Sincerely,
Peppy
Dear Peppy,
The Holy Spirit came to bring us the Bible (Eph 6:17), comfort through that Word (Jhn 14:26), and salvation (Tit 3:5). When we obey the teachings of the Bible, we enjoy the blessings of the Holy Spirit, blessings which will bring us joy and long-term happiness. The Holy Spirit didn’t specifically come to make you feel good, but joy is a symptom of a life well-lived in the Holy Spirit’s teachings (Rom 14:17).
Son Of Satan

Who’s Your Daddy?
Dear Who’s Your Daddy,
In Jhn 8:44, Jesus says that those who follow the lusts of the devil have become his children. Children emulate their parents. When we are children of God, we show respect for our heavenly Father (Heb 12:9); when we follow sinful ways, we are showing respect for the devil. In short, we act like the family we choose to love.
