Hi Donna & Friends,

Many thanks for the sincere invitation, I really appreciate it, so you can count me in.

I am an active member of Catholic Charistmatic Group here in Saudi Arabia. You know very well how strict this country is when it comes to practice of religion. Nevertheless, with the guidance, grace, glory, and protection from our Dear Lord God and the Blessed Holy Spirit, we manage to keep our group intact and undisturbed.

One of our growth series is about the Holy Spirit. Will you enlighten me on this very important issue, and if possible, give me some sins which grieve the Holy Spirit, which I can share with the members of our group.

I trust to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,

Bay

You can grieve the Holy Spirit and for this you can be forgiven. That's not to say that there are not consequences, but that with true repentence, you will recieve true forgiveness. Ephesians 4:30 " Don't make the God's Spirit sad. The Spirit makes sure that someday you will be free from your sins."
I hope I have helped you with your questions.
Your sister in Christ,
Donna [

WHAT PLEASES THE HOLY SPIRIT?
EPHESIANS 4:32 - Be kind and merciful and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ.
EPHESIANS 5:2 - Let love be your guide. Christ loved us and offered his life as a sacrifice that pleases God.
3.) You are God's people, so don't let it be said that any of you are immoral, indecent, or greedy.
4.) Don't use dirty, or foolish or filthy words. Instead say how thankful you are.
5.) Being greedy, indecent, or immoral is just another way of worshiping idols.
8.) You used to be like people living in the dark, but now you are people of the light, because you belong to the Lord. So act like people of the Light, 9.) and make your light shine. Be good and honest and truthful, 10.) as you try to please the Lord.  [ send green star]  [ accepted]

ROMANS 5:1-5
1.) BY faith we have been made acceptable to God. And now, because of our Lord Jesus Christ, we live at peace with God. 2.) Christ has also introduced to God's undeserved kindness on which we take our stand. So we are happy, as we look forward to sharing in the Glory of God 3.) But that's not all! We gladly suffer, because we know that suffering helps us to endure. 4.) And endurance builds character, which gives us a hope 5.) that will never disappoint us. All of this happens because God has given us the Holy Spirit, which fills our heart with his love.  [ send green star]  [ accepted]
