Every moment, every dollar, every talent given to us, if squandered on ourselves, will end up in the fire (1 Cor. 3:13). But the same resources offered to the Lord in the name of Christ, will be accepted by God as a fragrant reminder of His Son's sacrifice. How do we come to the point of such commitment? This book gives the happy secret of the life on fire for God.
The fire of God in ancient Israel did one of two things: either it purified by burning to nothing the offerings for sin outside the camp, or it sanctified as a sweet savor what was offered to God on the bronze altar before the Lord.
WE HAVE THE SAME CHOICE TODAY.
JIM ELLIOT wrote: He makes His ministers a flame of fire. Am I ignitible? God deliver me from the dread asbestos of "other things." Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame. But flame is
transient, often short-lived. Canst thou bear this, my soul-short life? In me there dwells the Spirit of the Great Short-Lived, whose zeal for God's house consumed Him....Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God.
Every moment, every dollar, every talent given to us, if squandered on ourselves will end up in the fire, evaporating before our eyes. But the same resources offered to the Lord in the name of Christ will be accepted by the God of heaven as a fragrant reminder of His Son's great sacrifice. BUT HOW DO WE COME TO THAT POINT OF COMMITTMENT? This book gives the happy secret of the life on fire for God.
