Human nature often is attracted to big, flashy objects. As a child did you ignore the obvious socks/underwear gift boxes, but instead grabbed first the big wrapped present that resembled the latest gaming console? Sadly many Christians similarly ignore the Holy Spirit, even worse resist his influence for other worldly things. To be God's witnesses in the world requires the Holy Spirit to be active in believers; otherwise efforts are futile. In Acts 2, the retelling of Pentecost reminds us of the precious gift of the Holy Spirit, often neglected, but always present. "Resistance is futile!"
