THE FIRE WITHIN
March 6, 2022
Exodus 3:1-5, Exodus 29:37, Revelation 3:15-16
John Seymour, “Emotions make excellent servants, but tyrannical masters.”
Fire Outside: The need for something separate from you that will excited you, thrill you, make you feel alive.
Idols demand more and more and give less and less.
A faith that is void of emotions is dead.
Emotions drive action, but we must drive our emotions.
My passion is my responsibility.
God is the only one who consumes but does not destroy.
God does not give us everything we desire when we follow him; rather, he becomes what we most deeply desire.
Questions for Reflection:
What does a faith that is both logical and emotional look like? Why is it so important to have both?
What is the danger of looking externally for the fire? Where do you struggle with this? Where have you found yourself looking externally for passion and purpose?
What do you need to do to start the fire within? Where do you need to grow that fire? What does someone’s life look like when they have God’s fire within them?
