It’s Time for (Another?) Pentecost

May 11, 2023 By fsisocialmedia

By Dr. Don Bierle, FaithSearch President

The arrival of the Holy Spirit is often represented by a descending dove, as in the baptism of Jesus (Luke 3:22).

There will be agreement in nearly all Western church calendars that May 28 is Pentecost Sunday – fifty days after Passover. Jesus stayed on earth after His resurrection for forty of those days (Acts 1:3) before He ascended to His Father. Just before He left, He told His followers, “And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49).

Year-around Roughing It. In Duluth, Minnesota?

For more than three years, fourteen-year-old Isaac Ortman hasn’t slept in his bed. This Minnesota teenager has camped out continuously (“weathered”?) in blizzards, thunderstorms, and minus 38-degree nights.

A quinzhee shelter made from a pile of snow. (Public domain)

Why? “It’s just fun!” His bed varies from a packed snow quinzhee to a hammock. 

This summer, Isaac will attend a Boy Scout jamboree in West Virginia and also visit Washington, D.C. While there, he says he hopes President Joe Biden will invite him to sleep on the lawn of the White House.
