There is nothing to fear as we ask the Holy Spirit, both personally and corporately, for a deeper infilling of Himself. For instance, on the day of Pentecost, our brothers and sisters experienced a spiritual wind and fire, but they were not knocked off their feet nor did they receive any first-degree burns. And neither will we when we come together (Acts 2:6) in the presence of an almighty God.

“All my value comes from God,” says Captain Dustin Fitch, corps officer at The Salvation Army Columbus East Main Corps Community Center in Ohio. “Alone, my best is not all that good.

To call it simply a cemetery or a graveyard feels incorrect. The size of a small town, it is a resting place for thousands of people, with many communities represented among the orderly plots.
