And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast." So they took it Continue reading]]> http://www.fireonyourhead.org/2009/12/22/more-reflections-on-the-water-turned-into-wine/feed/ 1 http://www.fireonyourhead.org/2009/09/05/the-spirit-possessed-society/ http://www.fireonyourhead.org/2009/09/05/the-spirit-possessed-society/#comments Sun, 06 Sep 2009 03:40:00 +0000 BryanP http://www.fireonyourhead.org/2009/09/05/the-spirit-possessed-society/ (This is a poem inspired by NT scholar F.F. Bruce's description of the first Church in Jerusalem in the book of Acts. He dubbed them "the Spirit-possessed society.")

When a policeman flashes his lights behind you and tells you to pull over, by what basis does he have the authority to make you do what he says?
