How’s Your Spiritual Breathing Lately?

Leonard Sweet‘s very recent piece follows; lemme get outa your way —

The church is the body of Christ, but every body needs breath, air, spirit to be alive. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Christ, the breath of the body.

Where the Spirit is missing, the body dies from lack of breath and its lights go out. No light, no life.

My prayer for your New Year is that you and your church will

take in deep breaths of the Holy Spirit

so that your devotions and meditations may be deep-breathing exercises, not in church management or church growth or church renewal or leadership strategies, but in Pentecost Power-lifting and Spirit-driven living.
