Unless we are burning, we cannot set anyone else on fire

Fire also announces the presence of God

Pillar of fire God’s banner, emblem of nation

–

John the Baptist said in Matt 3:11 that Jesus would baptize with fire

Faith is fire

We have to be blazing torches that sets fire to the whole land

Be on fire, and others will catch it

–

–

Winds of adversity only blow candles out.

But winds make bonfires bigger

Be a bonfire, not just a little candle.

Never too old to start burning for Jesus, or too young

Churches are to be beacons of light and fire, not hiding in basement

But many are ash pans, or garbage

In 1930s, there was no coal for fires, so woman just kept the fireplace polished

Cold churches can be described as polished, but no fire.

When there is a blaze, people stop and stare.

Fames of heaven kindled it.
