Topics: Church history, Holy Spirit
The original Church founded by Jesus Christ and the 12 apostles was actually a Church sustained and guided by the Holy Spirit. In Floods Upon the Dry Ground, Charles Schmitt gives an inspiring and thought-provoking history of the Church from a charismatic perspective. You won't want to put it down and will be profoundly enlightened by the author's insights. Allow him to carefully draw you into the realization that history is not yet finished and neither is God. Rediscover your roots and learn how the current rivers of renewal and revival fit into God's great plan for this world. In this study, God wants to immerse you in His presence.
Each succeeding generation needs a fresh statement of the major truths of the Christian faith. The presence, in our day, of "various and strange doctrines" have made this doubly imperative. Moved by such considerations, and by encouragements from responsible advisers, the writer of this treatise has sought to give the Christian community a concise, and he hopes, a constructive digest of Biblical
teachings relative to the Holy Spirit. The movements and messages of this Divine Person are as indispensable to the unfolding of the beauties of our Lord Jesus Christ, as they are to the spiritual prosperity of the household of faith. Passages of Scripture, presenting basic teaching on the Holy Spirit are dealt with in Part 1, and these we have called SPIRIT STATEMENT; in other words the doctrine of the
Spirit. Remarkable picture-names, from Old Testament and New, provide matter for Part 2, and these we have called SPIRIT SYMBOL. Here our theme is pictorially amplified and practically applied. I think, with sincere and deep gratitude, of the inestimable help given by Miss E. Killner, M.A., Glasgow, who read and edited these sixteen chapters. To Mrs. John McMullan, Portstewart, who typed the manuscript, I tender my heart-felt thanks for a painstaking and efficient task. May the Great Instructor of the disciples of Christ bless what, in this work, magnifies Christ and edifies "the flock for which He bled".
