“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.”

‭‭(Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV)‬‬

- One of the big differences I have noticed at the hotels in Uganda is their water.

- When you turn the water on, whether it’s the shower or the sink, there’s no regulator for the heat.

- When you put it on hot, it gets really hot!

- I almost burned myself the first day!

- In America, we have a thermostat that regulates our hot water heater.

- It’s a good thing physically but not so good spiritually

- The apostle Paul tells us to keep our spiritual fervor!

- That means, let your heart burn for Jesus!

- Be passionate for Jesus!

- Too many times we are worried about how we sound or how we appear to others.

- We have a spiritual regulator.

- We don’t want people to think that we are one of those “Crazy Christians!”

- We believe that we have to “tone it down”

- We think that a “Nice Christian” is the way to go.

- But “Nice” Christians don’t change the world!

- Other Christians will tell you to Not be to radical!

- When asked, what is the greatest commandment, Jesus said , “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’” (Mark‬ ‭12‬:‭30‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

- All means All and that’s All that All can mean!

- He doesn’t say “some” or “Most”

- He says All!

- That sounds like spiritual fervor to me!

- When I see these Ugandan’s worship, it brings something out in me!

- There is no holding back!

- They don’t care what anybody thinks!

- They don’t even care if the pitch is perfect!

- They just passionately worship the Lord!

- That’s one of the reasons that I come here!

- I’m not just to help them and bring the gospel to them, I’m helping myself!

- I’m lighting the fire once again

- Please take notice if your spiritual fire begins to go out!

- This is a day to live all out for Jesus wherever you are!

- Show the world around you, the fire that Burns inside of you!

- Have a great weekend!
