The Forgotten God: Neglect of the Holy Spirit - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

God exists as triune: three persons yet
one God. We often speak of the Trinity in mere passing terms; God, however, has
revealed himself in Scripture and in his work through threefold persons: the
Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Sadly, the most neglected and misunderstood
person of the godhead is the Holy Spirit including in charismatic contexts
where the Holy Spirit might seemingly be given an overemphasis. The neglect of
the Holy Spirit has caused false teaching while the misunderstanding of the
Holy Spirit has fostered improper thoughts of his work and personhood, e.g. the
Holy Spirit is not an it or a force but is rather a he and a person who works
and speaks. The Holy Spirit is effectively the forgotten God. Even such a
statement likely perplexes some people, as some believers might forget that he
is God, co-equal and co-eternal with both the Father and the Son. I intend to
discuss both the neglect and the work of the Holy Spirit so that we might develop
and have a correct understanding of him and worship him rightly. Three thoughts
I have are devoted to this topic of the Holy Spirit.
