2. THE HOLY SPIRIT & THE GREAT COMMISSION
Mark 16:11-14
11 And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
12 After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

2 Corinthians 6: The Message
11-13 Dear, dear Corinthians, I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. I’m speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!

9. THE HOLY SPIRIT & THE GREAT COMMISSION
14-18 Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? Who would think of setting up pagan idols in God’s holy Temple? But that is exactly what we are, each of us a temple in whom God lives.

God himself put it this way:
“I’ll live in them, move into them;     I’ll be their God and they’ll be my people. So leave the corruption and compromise;     leave it for good,” says God. “Don’t link up with those who will pollute you.     I want you all for myself. I’ll be a Father to you;     you’ll be sons and daughters to me.” The Word of the Master, God.
