I used to pastor in Aberdeen SD. I remember the title of one sermon I preached there. The title was, "I've Got the Holy Ghost, But Where's the Fire? If my memory serves, the text was taken from John the Baptist's statement, in Luke 3:16 where John said, "I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire..." I don't recall much else of that sermon except the title, but the question still remains, where is the fire? Oh, I know that we have a lot of services where emotion rules and we are encouraged to spread the good news that Jesus still saves, but the question still remains, where is the fire?
Good message. So, would you comment on what you mean, by where is the fire? Thanks!
