Summary
Pastor Mark Turman was so encouraged by Dr. Denison's book about the Holy Spirit, titled Empowered, that he asked to record its 47 chapters as daily readings for his church.
When Dr. Denison heard about this, he suggested the great idea to release these recordings as bonus episodes of The Daily Article Podcast every day from Ash Wednesday to Easter.
We hope that you will likewise be encouraged by these short, insightful, and empowering podcast episodes.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to a bonus episode of the Daily Article podcast, presented by the Denison |
| 0:07.5 | Forum. Empowered, Day 35. Kindness. I remember the day as if it were yesterday. I was pastor of |
| 0:17.2 | First Baptist Church in Midland, Texas. The title of my sermon that Sunday was |
| 0:21.7 | is God fair? I was prepared to preach a message defending the fairness of God, but one of our |
| 0:28.1 | Sunday school volunteers saw the title and said, aren't you glad he's not? I had to go back to my |
| 0:34.2 | office and rewrite the sermon. If God were fair, every sin you've committed |

| 1:03.7 | Scripture teaches that when the goodness and loving kindness of our Savior appeared, he |
| 1:08.5 | saved us, not because of works done in righteousness by us, |
| 1:13.3 | but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, |

| 1:32.3 | Ephesians 2.7. |
| 1:34.3 | Now our Father calls us to choose kindness with others, no matter what they have done to us. |
| 1:39.3 | Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought and do what is honorable in the sight of |
| 1:46.1 | all. |
| 1:47.3 | If possible, so far as depends on you, live peaceably with all. |
