SET YOUR HEART ON FIRE TODAY

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever” (John 14:16). DAILY FIRE! - Christ For All Nations Today, I will to radiate joy, compassion, and love to those around me. A fish has the same temperature as the water in which it swims.  Too many Christians are like fish: they have no more warmth of spirit than the cold, unbelieving world around them. Men are warm-blooded creatures: that is the way the Lord made us. That is also the way He chose us to take the Good News: with warmth!  The Lord does not send us out because we have cool heads and dignity. Nor does He choose us because of our self-composure. He sends us out with live coals from the altar, as witnesses to the resurrection, to testify that we have met the God of Pentecost.  I have heard sermons that were like lectures on embalming the dead. Would such a talk remind anyone of the living Jesus? Neither Jesus, Peter, nor Paul left congregations sitting like marble statues in a museum. Logic can be set alight and still be logic, like the logic of Isaiah or Paul, for example. Logic need not belong to the glacial period. Fire implies fervor, not ignorance.  Learn by all means: but not if it puts your fire out. Remember, radiance before cleverness: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30).  The Lord wants you to have a burning heart, and to radiate joy, compassion, and love.
