"The objectionable SIM"

Text, Acts 7:5D, "Ye stiff-necked
and uncircumcised in heart and ears.
ye do always resist the Holy Ghost,
as your father did so do ye" These
very plain words were spoken by Ste,
phen, "a man full of faith and the
Holy Ghost" to council of religious
leaders in Jerusalem. They had met
for the purpose OF trying him for his
faith.
My theme for tonight Is Resisting
the Holy Ghost" People often speak
OF the unsaved as having qnenched
the Spirit but 1t is the Christian thar

Spirit does not strive with men. then
this text would be without meaning
In another place God says MY Spirit
snail not always strive with men
Here we find the same truth implied
that the Spirit does strive with men
Then 1t is also implied here that men
have the power to resist the Holy
Spirit, There Is no power either In
| heaven or earth to save man against
| his Will. You say. dow can one know
that the Spirit is striving with them?.
