Our purpose: To “Fan the Flame” |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
(2 Timothy 1:6) For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. |

We all know from Science Class that the three components of fire are fuel, oxygen, and heat. Obviously, this was understood, at least to some degree, during Jesus' time. We can tell that from the previous scripture.
It appears that Paul is making
reference to a person that is starting a fire or tending a fire
that is about to go out. Why do you fan or blow on a smoldering
fire? This oxygenates the fire. Adding oxygen to a fire will do
two (2) important things. It will drop the temperature that the
fuel will combust at and it increases the temperature of the
fire itself.

God's desire, for all of us in "Refuge" is that our "fire" for Jesus will not just smolder but burn hotter and hotter! The hotter the fire is in our lives the more impurities (sin and imperfection) God will remove from our lives. Of course this can't happen if we don't desire it and want to be more like him.
If we are really "on fire" for
Jesus and we live our lives at school, work, or any other time
like we do when we are at Church then we can expect that those
around us will be affected and they will catch on fire for
Jesus, "Spontaneously Combust". Our witness in our walk speaks
louder than our words or as commonly said, "Don't talk the talk
if you can't walk the walk". What’s the purpose of my life? How can I handle the pressures and frustrations of every day life in a Biblical way? What difference can God really make in my life?These are
problems or questions that we have all have had at some point in
time in our life and for certain God has the answers and God is
the answer. Please join us in Refuge or one of the other classes
for answers to any of your questions. We would really love to
have you be a part of this group! Come Join Refuge!
Come have an intense
experience! Group challenges Meet new friends Great worship led by our own Refuge youth band Biblical teaching to
