Sunday night during the election of the moderator we had difficulty with the electronic voting. About 100 commissioners were either not voting correctly or they were being prevented from voting by a glitch in the technology. We heard a lot about the Holy Spirit at work in their conversations, and I began to wonder how we know when the Holy Spirit is at work. Some might see votes not being counted as the work the Holy Spirit to make sure the right person got elected; others might view it simply as a technical glitch. That may sound a bit exaggerated, but I find it far too common for us to claim the Holy Spirit has been at work when the results fit their desires; otherwise, we find no evidence of the Holy Spirit.
Peace,
Richard
