Memory Verse of the Week - August 25, 2008
"Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." - Hebrews 12:14
Because of the power of God's Word, let us be encouraged to memorize it.  Ask the Holy Spirit to help you apply the verse to your life.

CalvaryEMC seeks to join God where He is working in Owen Sound and on the World Wide Web.

Reflections

"Move up, Grow up and Don't Give up!" - Hebrews 12:3-29
 
My prayer has been, “Lord, send the fire!” The world needs to see what only God can do.  Oswald Sanders wrote this:  “In our day, the greatest lack in the life of the individual Christian and of the church is the fire of God, the manifested presence and mighty working of the Holy Spirit.  There is little about us that cannot be explained on the level of the natural.  Our lives are not fire-touched.  There is no holy conflagration in our churches to which people are irresistibly drawn as a moth to a flame.  
It is the absence of the fire of God which accounts for the insignificant impact the church is making on a lost world.  It never had better organization, a more scholarly ministry, greater resources of men and means, more skillful techniques.  And yet never did it make a smaller contribution to solving the problems of a distraught world.  Our prayer should be, “Lord, send the fire.” What else can meet the need of the hour?”

Today, let us be challenged from the message in Hebrews 12 to move up, grow up and whatever you do, don't give up!  God is a consuming fire.  
"So don't turn a dear ear to these gracious words.  If those who ignored earthly warnings didn't get away with it, what will happen to us if we turn our backs on heavenly warnings?  His voice that time shook the earth to    its foundations; this time--He's told us this quite plainly--He'll also rock     the heavens:  'One last shaking, from top to bottom, stem to stern.'  The phrase 'one last shaking' means a thorough housecleaning, getting rid       of all the historical and religious junk so that the unshakable essentials stand clear and uncluttered.  Do you see what we've got?  An unshakable kingdom!  And do you see how thankful we must be?  Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God.  For God is not an indifferent bystander.  He's actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and He won't quit until it's all cleansed.  God Himself is Fire!"
