Today is Pentecost Sunday.
With his background as associate editor of The Franklin Advocate, Later, Morrison invited Chisholm to move to Louisville, Kentucky.
Once there he became the editor of The Pentecostal Herald.

Don’t raise your hands.

thou changest not, thy compassions they fail not.”

Does it even mean anything to you?
, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” may well have played a role as well.
Let us go back to the Old Testament and understand the beginnings.
The first Pentecost is a Jewish holiday called Shavuot.
For the Jews, Shavout is an important historical event with deep significance.
Shavuot is still celebrated by the Jews today.
1. Shavuot commemorates the day when God gave the law to Israel at Mount Sinai.
The law was a marriage vow between God and His people.
The law teaches the Israelites how to love God, worship God and walk in right relationship with Him.
And in the giving of the law…
2. Shavuot marks the day Israel was birthed as a nation.
After God delivered the Israelites from Egypt, Israel became a sovereign nation.
They were free, no more slaves.
