note — I don’t agree with you on much, but I don’t see how saying “oh, the Holy Spirit doesn’t work today” makes any sense — what happened? Did the Spirit just go away? And what is wrong with believing that the Spirit works today as well? Is it so wrong to believe that God does not work miracles today?
God is not impotent, nor is God some God who went away and now leaves the universe to handle itself.
I believe that while God allows us to disobey Him, His love still shows in the way He reaches out to help us.
No Christian says the "Holy Spirit doesn't work today" other than maybe Roman Catholics who relegate the Holy Spirit behind the magisterium and Mary and the sacraments and "alter Christus," etc.
The Holy Spirit is the reason and means for our sanctification. Christians know that the Holy Spirit works in their lives every single day, all day, 24/7.
If He didn't, we wouldn't be Christians. We'd be reprobates who might be inclined to relegate the Holy Spirit behind the magisterium and Mary and the sacraments and "alter Christus," etc.

Miracles occur every day. And every one of those miracles was ordained by God for His glory and our welfare from before the foundation of the world.
