KIRK’S LOG
Stardate: June 22, 2008
Focus Scripture – Genesis 1:1-2 and Acts 2:1-4
Genesis
1:1-2 – In the beginning when
God created the heavens and the earth,
the earth was a
formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep,
while
a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
Acts
2:1-4 – When the day of
Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.
And
suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind,
and it filled the
entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire,
appeared
among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled
with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
