We Didn't Start The Fire

HiYa Pallies,
Uncle Donnie has been hearing this phrase alot lately,"are you on fire for the Lord?"
Maybe coz I heard a sermon on Rev. 3 regarding the church at Laodociea, who was
neither hot or cold, you remember it right? Anyways, I've been thinkin  how hot is  this
fire supposed to be with Jesus? Is it supposed to be smelting hot like steel melting or
campfire hot for hot dogs or maybe candle hot, you know wax melting hot, I dunno!
Somebody smarter than I can help me, but I don't think I've ever read from the Scriptures
about being on fire for Jesus. Call me crazy, call me goofy, whatever; just explain to me
where this terminology comes from! I hear phrases like "be fervent in spirit, devoted to
one another, serving the Lord". I read about the refining fires and the fires of hell and of
judgement; I get all those, you know what I mean? I know how many saints were in history
literally on fire for the Lord in their martyrdoms, and I know that one of the fruits of the
Spirit is not being on fire for Jesus. Nothing in the Sermon on the Mount about it , and
where is being on fire for Jesus found in the epistles? Help me out here?
What I do know is that even a smoking flax(Isa.42) he will not quench!
I know that if I love Him I will keep His commandments.
I know that these commandments are not burdensome.
I know the two greatest commanndments.
I know that to Love is the fulfilling of the Law.
I know to be an imitator of Christ as a little child.
I know if I confess Him before men, He will confess me before His Father in heaven.
I know that greater love has no man than to love his neighbor as himself.
That's probably enough, although much much more could be quoted from Holy Writ
regarding our responsiblities communicated in concrete, and tangible terms.
I'm not sayin....I'm just sayin, leave us keep our speech Bible speech! You know
what I mean?

Zealously,
Uncle Donnie
