“START A FLAME!”

Judges 13:20a

“It happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar!”

 

Here in Olympia we have a radio station that plays only old-time records, some as far back as the roaring 20's.  It is nostalgic to listen to the songs from the big band era, and yes, even the craziness of Spike Jones or the Hoosier Hotshots.

 

As I listened the other day I heard the Ink Spots begin to sing "A Flame in Your Heart." The lyrics suddenly electrified me.  It was like the Lord was giving these words of love to any who  would hear. 

 

I am not sure I can recall the words exactly, but I hope you get the idea:  "I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart.  In My heart there is but one desire, and that one is you!  No other will do!"

 

My mind began to race with thoughts of the ways of God.  We often talk and promote revival, but do we truly know what it means?  I fear that the concept we have in our minds-eye is large groups of people loving and serving God.  I think that is wrong!  That is the result of revival, not the revival itself.

 

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
