Though I know that as long as we are on this earth
we will not be a "perfect people" but, we are to draw
near to the LORD and ask HIM to help us carry out
what HE has planned to us to do. A big part of that
plan for each of us, is to be the best brother/sister
to our brothers and sisters that we can be and to
help the poor, and to preach HIS Gospel. That is
a TALL ORDER".

**For those who do not realize what "Fire" means
in church terms, it means a passionate love of GOD
in our midst; it does not mean fire in an earthly sense.

GOD BLESS,

The Church On Fire I was happy when at first I heard the words at last here is a church on fire but I began to question what exactly are the fruits this assembly has and to know this answer is one of my heart’s desires. Are they loving one another and lifting up their assembly in prayer? or are they striving and jealous of each other’s possessions pretending to lift up hold hands in the air? Do they love their GOD even as they say that they do do they keep their word or promises they have given to me and to you? Do they feed hungry and clothe the naked and seemingly do all the right kinds of things? Or are they using their tithe and offering money to buy extravagant cars and exquisite diamond rings. Do they bear false witness and covet their neighbor’s wives do they swear to you and to the law with fingers crossed thinking so what; it is only a little white lie. One day soon, the trumpet will sound and the LORD will descend with a shout and the spotless, blameless Bride of Christ will arise and meet Him in the air, and that is what this has all been about.
