The Old Testament recollection celebrated the giving of the Law to Moses on tablets of stone. The New Testament recollection of) human hearts (Ezekiel 36:26-27). That’s precisely why NT Pentecost is so significant to the Church of the Nazarene and to our distinctive doctrine of Entire Sanctification. Like Pentecost, Entire Sanctification is the terminology we use to describe the infilling of the Holy Spirit in the life of fully surrendered believers. This “infilling” has a dual purpose that cleanses our hearts more fully inwardly, and compels us to love God and others more fully outwardly. Not just a cleansing, but a compelling. Not just purity, but power. Not just wholesomeness, but a bold witness. Those who overemphasize the inward work of the Spirit sometimes tend to detach themselves from the world we were intended to reach. Those who overemphasize the outward work of the Spirit sometimes tend to detach themselves from the inward power we need to be effective in serving God and others. Writing about our historic tendency as Nazarenes to overemphasize the inward work of the Spirit, Dr. Dan Boone (President of Trevecca Nazarene University) notes, “As we embraced God’s call to holiness, we sometimes failed. Our story as Nazarenes includes times when we were more concerned with how we ‘looked’ to the world than with ‘seeing’ the world as God sees it. We often have interpreted God’s law as a narrow, individualistic guide to sainthood when it was meant to create a new community. We sometimes thought of sanctification as a private experience when God meant to sanctify us into a Spirit-shaped community. We sometimes made this second moment of grace, the goal of our experience rather than the gate to wholehearted service to God and others” (Holiness 101, Our Story Tells Us Who We Are, page 28). As we reflect on the profound change that Pentecost had on the Church in Acts, it’s an ideal time for us to pray, “Do it again, Lord!” It’s a wonderful time to pray earnestly for a fresh infilling, an up-to-date cleansing, and a brand new compelling boldness to reach the world for whom Christ died. Pentecost: Do it again, Lord! Do it again!

On a mission to reach <strong>East</strong>ern Kentucky and our world for Jesus Christ<br />

A Fresh Look at Pentecost<br />

Pentecost is May 27 th this year (fifty days after Passover celebrates <strong>the</strong> outpouring <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Holy Spirit on and in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong>, and <strong>the</strong> writing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Law on (and cleansing). <strong>The</strong> Old<br />

Testament recollection celebrated <strong>the</strong> giving <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Law to Moses on tablets <strong>of</strong> stone. <strong>The</strong> New<br />

Testament recollection <strong>of</strong>) human hearts (Ezekiel 36:26-27).<br />

That’s precisely why NT Pentecost is so significant to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Nazarene</strong> and to<br />

our distinctive doctrine <strong>of</strong> Entire Sanctification. Like Pentecost, Entire Sanctification is <strong>the</strong><br />

terminology we use to describe <strong>the</strong> infilling <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit in <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> fully surrendered<br />

believers. This “infilling” has a dual purpose that cleanses our hearts more fully inwardly, and<br />

compels us to love God and o<strong>the</strong>rs more fully outwardly. Not just a cleansing, but a compelling.<br />

Not just purity, but power. Not just wholesomeness, but a bold witness. Those who<br />

overemphasize <strong>the</strong> inward work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Spirit sometimes tend to detach <strong>the</strong>mselves from <strong>the</strong> world<br />

we were intended to reach. Those who overemphasize <strong>the</strong> outward work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Spirit sometimes<br />

tend to detach <strong>the</strong>mselves from <strong>the</strong> inward power we need to be effective in serving God and<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />

Writing about our historic tendency as <strong>Nazarene</strong>s to overemphasize <strong>the</strong> inward work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Spirit, Dr. Dan Boone (President <strong>of</strong> Trevecca <strong>Nazarene</strong> University) notes, “As we embraced<br />

God’s call to holiness, we sometimes failed. Our story as <strong>Nazarene</strong>s includes times when we<br />

were more concerned with how we ‘looked’ to <strong>the</strong> world than with ‘seeing’ <strong>the</strong> world as God sees<br />

it. We <strong>of</strong>ten have interpreted God’s law as a narrow, individualistic guide to sainthood when it<br />

was meant to create a new community. We sometimes thought <strong>of</strong> sanctification as a private<br />

experience when God meant to sanctify us into a Spirit-shaped community. We sometimes made<br />

Its that time <strong>of</strong> year again! Ano<strong>the</strong>r school year ending, Proms, vacations, family outings,<br />

and yup you guessed it TEEN CAMP!!!! What better way to spend a week <strong>of</strong> summer<br />

vacation, <strong>the</strong>n a week <strong>of</strong> hangin out with all <strong>the</strong> friends from <strong>the</strong> district at Mt. Hope? Early<br />

mornings at <strong>the</strong> flag pole, activities in <strong>the</strong> field, great messages and worship in <strong>the</strong> tabernacle,<br />

and to top it <strong>of</strong>f, an evening <strong>of</strong> Mt Hope Idol, or a game <strong>of</strong> Angels & demons.<br />

<strong>The</strong> campground has never looked better, and Mr. & Mrs. Pocai, toge<strong>the</strong>r with your<br />

camp board, are working to make it even better. We are currently working on designing,<br />

and installing an obstacle course, as well as a <strong>of</strong>ficial 9 hole Frisbee golf course. Mr. Poccai,<br />

and his team, have finished <strong>the</strong> men's bath house, and currently finishing <strong>the</strong> remodel <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> women's bath house. When you get a chance check it out <strong>the</strong>y look great!!<br />

Great things are happening, but we need your help. We have <strong>the</strong> manpower, but we are<br />

short on <strong>the</strong> funds we need to do everything we want to improve <strong>the</strong> appearance, and appeal<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> campground. This is where you come in. Could you spare a few bucks a month,<br />

maybe a one time gift, to benefit <strong>the</strong> campground. Just send it to <strong>the</strong> District Office and<br />

mark it Mt Hope Campground. I promise we will squeeze everything we can out <strong>of</strong> your<br />

gift. Help us to make Mt Hope even better than it is. Lets keep Mt Hope a great place, for<br />

our children and teens, to come and get away from <strong>the</strong> world, experience JESUS, with<br />
