Living in the Spirit

Good morning Pastor John, 

I was listening to a fireside chats from December today and heard something I have missed until today.  The people caught a man gathering sticks on a Sabbath.   Not knowing what to do with him they brought him to Moses who went to the Lord for guidance.  The Lord said for all the people to stone him with stones.  I believe there is a big lesson in this story.  Just because we may not have been told not to do something we are supposed to feel what is right in the sight of the Lord and do that.  The people had not been told not to do that explicitly yet he was stoned.  He should have been able to know not to do that from the law he did know.  With us having His Spirit how much more we are expected to know what is right in the eyes of the Lord.  It is a fearful thing when hearing this story.  But the other side is so much joy in His Spirit.

I just wanted to share that while I remembered it.  Now back to the pumps.
