The Burning Heart

I have always been struck by the statement in Luke 24:32 by the two men Jesus encountered on the road to Emmaus.

After Jesus revealed himself to them, they said, "Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us on the road and while he opened the scriptures to us?"

It is so easy for things to "pour cold water" on our passion for Jesus. We can get so easily distracted and caught up in so many things.

It is my desire for myself and the people whom I serve that Jesus would become the "predominant preoccupation" (can't remember who said it that way, but it's good) of our minds and hearts so much so that His life just flows through us by the Holy Spirit in and through the activities of life.

That only comes as we cultivate and nurture and feed the fire of our hearts.

That's what we'll be teaching on today.
