An Excerpt:
Just as extremities lose feeling in the bitter winter, we who must deal with the bitter world suffer a diminishing of the senses. But the Spirit can revive those senses, broadening their scope to embrace even things unseen, the things of the spirit, and the things of an unseen God.
This is a hard, cold world, and if we survive it by adapting to it, we will ultimately go down with it. We will die an earthly and earthy kind of death.
But the Holy Spirit lifts us out of that frigid contemplation, warming us with His flame, offering us hope and promise.
Not death, but life.
