Good or Powerful

[Pragmatist]

We should strive to be good through the power of the Holy Ghost. Our desire should not be to be powerful.

[RevDWW]

How do you define good and how does the Bible define good?

Could being more powerful allow you to express more goodness?
Does this generally happen with human nature?

Where does real personal power come from?
What determines the amount of Spiritual Power one has?

[RevDWW]

Power, properly applied, can be good.

Jesus commanding the winds and waves to save His disciples from the storm.
Jesus raising the dead, healing the blind, halt, and lame, casting out devils are all good examples of properly applied power.

Jesus having the power to keep Himself from being crucified is a great example of power not applied for great good.

[RevDWW]

Is there power greater than the "You shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you" kinda power?



I know that there is! I have experienced it and so have every one of you.......

Does anyone want to take a crack at what power I'm speaking of?

For now, I've PM'ed my answer to RevRandy for safe keeping.
