Pentecost Thoughts

Even after the sighting of our resurrected Lord, the disciples seemed to live in fear and paralysis. Then came the winds of Pentecost. God's spirit poured out and the beginning of recreation and renewal. Love, joy and hope began to spread instead of fear, distrust and apathy.

It is my prayer that as we approach the season of Pentecost, we will empty ourselves of fear, distrust and apathy and allow God to pour The Holy Spirit into our lives and give us power to live courageously and faithfully into the future.

Jesus promised us peace in the midst of difficult times of transition. Our congregations and our individual lives are in the midst of transition and as we yield in trust to God , God's Spirit can transform our apathy into hope, our fear into faith, our anger into enthusiasm, our doubts into possibilities, our resentment into love , our distance into reconciling relationships, oppression and hurt and anguish into justice and Love.

Seek the outpouring of God's spirit and discover the power to live faithfully and fruitfully. Only by the power of the Spirit of God can we accomplish what God calls us to do and dare as congregations seeking to bring in the kingdom of God in our midst.

Pentecost is not an event we remember from the past but an experience that we must seek here and now so that we can live into the fullness of life that is our destiny.

God is pouring out the Holy Spirit , you willing to receive it?

Rejoicing with you and inviting your to surrender to God's Spirit,

Lovingly, your fellow servant in Christ,

Solomon.                                                                                                     Home
