By: Dr. Clark Armstrong When I was nine years old, a tornado came to our town. I think of that anytime I hear the phrase “a mighty rushing wind,” as in the scriptural account of Pentecost. Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit of God was poured out upon the 120 believers gathered in the Upper... Continue Reading →
