<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Glory</strong><br />

(which is translated Son of Encouragement) a Levite of the<br />

country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money<br />

and laid it at the apostles feet.” (Acts 4:32-37)<br />

Wow, what unity and love they had! This love and unity will be the<br />

natural fruit that occurs from any true outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It<br />

was a practical love working itself out among brothers and sisters in<br />

Christ through every day circumstances. It produced a testimony which<br />

“turned the world upside down,” and “fear came upon every soul” that<br />

came into contact with these believers. Now THIS is the type of<br />

Pentecost that is worth eagerly anticipating! The two words that best<br />

describe this modern day Pentecost are COMMUNITY and<br />

GENEROSITY. Anything short of this description will not do.<br />

This <strong>book</strong> will attempt to describe the order in which we can steward<br />

this modern day Pentecost so that it will not die out again. Every other<br />

major move of God in Christian church history started with a fire, hit a<br />

peak and then died out by becoming an institution instead of being the<br />

living organism that God created the “Body of Christ” to be. Why?<br />

Because they all started out with the seed of God and then mankind put<br />

his “good ideas” into God’s purposes, which made it stagnant. The<br />

Cross of Christ is the only answer to overcoming our immaturity and<br />

becoming mature sons of the King. The message of the Cross is the<br />

common thread intertwined in all of the writings in this <strong>book</strong>, and the<br />

true fruit of the Cross will produce many of God’s mature sons.<br />

The reason Jesus suffered and died was to bring many “sons to glory.”<br />

These sons whom Jesus decides to honor will have taken the same road<br />

of the Cross that He did. We all have different crosses to carry that<br />

have been hand crafted for us by the Master Carpenter. This <strong>book</strong> is<br />

the story of one man’s cross-walk to maturity as a son. My prayer is<br />

that the words in this <strong>book</strong> will encourage you to also take up your<br />

cross and follow the Lamb wherever He may lead you.<br />
