Wednesday

Left to itself, a fire tends to burn out. Throughout the Bible, believers are urged to keep their spiritual fervor red hot, like Paul encouraged Timothy to "fan into flame" his spiritual passion. Life and all its challenges take a toll on a warm heart. More than just giving us a challenge, the Word gives us a clear path to a heart that’s hot for Jesus.
