Campolo also emphasized that Christians need to seek cleansing, not just forgiveness, for their sins. The Holy Spirit is a smothered reality in the depths of your being. He went on to list several things that the Holy Spirit can empower Christians to do. The first was healing, which Campolo distinguished from curing someone of an illness. Another crucial gift of the Holy Spirit, according to Campolo, is the ability to love others.
Love is the ultimate healer.
The audience responded enthusiastically, with many people staying around for a concert of prayer held after the talk. A free will offering was taken at the end, as Campolo agreed to come to Calvin without any guarantee of receiving the honorarium he is usually paid for giving talks. The series was spearheaded and entirely organized by students. Junior Adam Stout came up with the idea for the series and invited Campolo to participate after hearing him talk at an event last year. I think it makes sense that we should look into these things.
