Divining the Godhead

Learning a thing or two about the Holy Spirit 

LONGWOOD, FL— Speak of the Holy Trinity and most people will know what you’re talking about. They may even have heard about the Holy Spirit, the lesser-known person of the trio. But what most of us don’t know is that no one can ever fully understand God and His Kingdom without the Holy Spirit. Gary W. Kelly Sr., author of Lessons of the Holy Spirit  - A Guide for Entering the Kingdom of God and Discover Why It Pleased God to hide His Kingdom from the Wise ($13.99, paperback, 1-60034-041-5), hopes to provide readers with a reverent appreciation of the Holy Spirit’s ministry. Traditionally, the Holy Spirit is the third cog in the wheel of the trinity, the one who helps us to “abide” in the fellowship of God. But in a real-world, practical sense it’s easy to forget just what the Holy Spirit does for us. 

Says Kelly, “While those wise in this world may define values and morals in the wisdom of men, the Holy Spirit writes the laws of God on our hearts. With all the issues being faced in our personal lives and socially, and highlighted by the war on terror and the culture war, Christians are still called to seek first the Kingdom of God.” 

Lessons of the Holy Spirit contains 17 lessons meant to challenge worldly wisdom and religious doctrine and draw readers closer to God on His terms, not through worldly traditions. Christian religions with various doctrines abound, yet many do not fully embrace or realize the importance of the one thing that separates Christianity from all other religions: Christianity is the only religion where a blameless Savior died for our sins to reconcile us to God. Christ is the only prophet who was raised from the dead, and the only prophet who provides the ministry of the Holy Spirit. 

The book also addresses the difficulties of understanding Scripture, and through it, God’s will. With so many different Scripture interpretations out there, it is hard to settle on just one or know which is the right one to accept. With the current assault on America’s Christian heritage and virtues, Lessons of the Holy Spirit hopes to make known the truth about the Sermon on the Mount and the ministry Christ proclaimed. Ultimately guiding the reader into developing a personal relationship with our Creator, that we shall see Him as He sees us and no longer as “looking through a glass darkly,” to know Him and make Him known. Through Lessons of the Holy Spirit the author desires to have the reader come to know the “peace which passes understanding,” the “peace that Jesus gives, not that of the world,” and the “joy unspeakable,” the “joy that no man takes away.” As Paul declared: “For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 14:17) 

Gary W. Kelly Sr. has three sons with his wife of 34 years, Denise. He is semi-retired from the computer information technology field. Over a span of 22 years, he coached little league, Babe Ruth baseball, and street hockey. Currently he administers the EarsToHear.net website, dedicated to advancing the kingdom of God. The website also provides resources for preserving America’s Christian heritage and confronts church and state cultural issues.
