Now That's a Fire!

Have I mentioned that I am the mother of three little boys (ages 8, 5, and 4)?  This would explain why anytime I am suddenly interrupted by phrases that include words such as “blood”, “flood”, or “fire”, the immediate reaction is my heart nearly stopping as it jumps into my throat. So it happened a few days ago when I was sitting quietly (a really rare moment) and my youngest rushed into the room babbling excitedly. I should have been happy with what I later learned was his spiritual enthusiasm, but all I caught at the moment was the phrase “church on fire”. “What? The church is on fire. What church? Where?”(you know the kind of panic that happens within a nanosecond). But, then, a logical thought followed, “That can’t be true. And if it were, how would he even know that?” After taking a moment to listen a bit further, I realized he was just asking to hear one of his favorite songs. (Laugh. Relief)

In light of that moment, we thought we would share it with you here. We hope you enjoy this song from the Irish band “Rend Collective” as much as we do. As I told him then, “Oh, now I understand. Yes, dear son, may the Lord set His Church on fire. Thank you for the startling reminder.” Let us pray for it dear friends.

“One thing and one thing alone keeps us from complete decay in this hour - the church, the true Church.” Leonard Ravenhill (author of Why Revival Tarries)
