In The God I Never Knew , the senior pastor of Gateway Church in Dallas, Texas, Robert Morris reveals a common-sense approach to the Holy Spirit. He explains that the Holy Spirit doesn’t need to be feared and isn’t a weird element of the trinity and that the Holy Spirit is a person who thinks, feels and has desires, and is present to help each person live the Christian life.  Perhaps its time for you to meet the God you’ve had misconceptions about, the one you’ve feared, or the one you have never know.

Every believer is a precious part of Christ’s body. When even one is missing, the church lacks power and is less than whole.
