Having been raised in a fairly QUIET and a fairly FORMAL Baptist church in my growing up years, when I first stepped foot inside a Pentecostal church, it was … interesting. Generally speaking, you can sense EXCITEMENT in the air. Exuberance and expectation EXUDE from the congregants. More times than not you’ll find them on…
