Fueling the Spiritual Fire
In America, one out of every four fires is caused by arson, accounting for some half a million fires and $3 billion in direct property damage each year.
When people intentionally set fires, lives are lost and property is destroyed. When God ignites spiritual fires, hearts are filled with love and lives are saved.
In Exodus 3:2-3, The Angel of the Lord appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush. Moses was fascinated because although the bush was clearly on fire, it wasn’t damaged and it didn’t burn up.
Whenever a person or a congregation is truly on fire with God’s love people will come from miles around just to watch them “burn.”
When God sets the fires of evangelism loose in His people, these fires will bring more light, more hope, and more resources through the door than we ever dreamed possible.
Though God’s fires don’t burn people out, they do need spiritual fuel.
Fuelish attitudes are ways of thinking that ignite ordinary people in the church with a passion for introducing their family, friends, neighbors, and complete strangers into
life-changing relationships with Jesus.
The Fuel of Kindness: Colossians 3:12 says we are to clothe ourselves with kindness…That means wrapping ourselves up in God’s love for anyone in need.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Taking the focus off of ourselves and putting it on God and the needs of others
is amazingly fuelish. The Fuel of Fun. The Fuel of Prayer and Worship.
People whom God loves and we love are lost in the darkness of sin. Each of us has
a part to play in their rescue.
