The Resting Place Quotes

“One of the assignments of the Holy Spirit is to let us know what is to come. If you read commentaries and various reference materials, you’ll notice most think the promise of knowing what’s coming is all about us being aware of coming calamities. Theologians tend to focus on problems because few truly believe in the glorious church. Everyone from world leaders to musicians, to actors and business leaders, are telling us of the coming calamities. We don’t need the Holy Spirit for that purpose when people without God can do it. Rather, we need Him to see the coming glory! The warnings of difficulties are necessary as they help us keep our priorities straight. But it’s the Father’s good pleasure to give us the mysteries of the kingdom. And there’s no pleasure in speaking of the death and destruction of the unrighteous. It’s still called the good news for a reason.4”
