'The best image of the "ordinary supernatural" presence of the Holy Spirit is that of the gentle, quiet dove that descended on Jesus at his baptism in the Jordan River, empowering him for ministry and communicating to him as beloved Son the love of the Father - not an explosive stick of dynamite that can "explode" in churches! We do receive energy and power with the Spirit, but this power is constructive, not destructive. God wants churches to grow up - not to blow up!'
John Jefferson Davis, Meditation and Communion with God: Contemplating Scripture in an Age of Distraction, p.38.
