Reavivando el fuego
- 1. “ Reavivando el fuego” salmo 39:1-4
- 2. Me dije a mí mismo: «Mientras esté ante gente malvada vigilaré mi conducta, me abstendré de pecar con la lengua, me pondré una mordaza en la boca.» Así que guardé silencio, me mantuve callado. ¡Ni aun lo bueno salía de mi boca! Pero mi angustia iba en aumento; ¡el corazón me ardía en el pecho! Al meditar en esto, el fuego se inflamó y tuve que decir: «Hazme saber, SEÑOR, el límite de mis días, y el tiempo que me queda por vivir; hazme saber lo efímero que soy. salmo 39:1-4 Reavivando el fuego
- 3. Si digo: «No me acordaré más de él, ni hablaré más en su *nombre», entonces su palabra en mi interior se vuelve un fuego ardiente que me cala hasta los huesos. He hecho todo lo posible por contenerla, pero ya no puedo más. Jeremías 20:9 Reavivando el fuego
- 4. Se decían el uno al otro: —¿No ardía nuestro corazón mientras conversaba con nosotros en el camino y nos explicaba las Escrituras? Lucas 24:32 Reavivando el fuego
Notas do Editor
- Title Page : Rekindling the Fire . ( Psa.39:1-4)
- The text: ( Psa.39:1-4)… The fire burned in David’s heart, and he had to speak.
- Jere.20:9 : Jeremiah was under intense distress because of the truths he told Israel and her need to repent or reap the consequences. So he decided to remain silent—but he could not because God’s word was like a burning fire within him, and he had to speak!
- Luke 24:32 : After Jesus told His disciples the truth about His resurrection, they developed a burning spiritual passion within their minds …
- When we first become Christians, we are ON FIRE. We can’t wait to share with others the gospel and the hope of salvation we’ve found in Christ. We seek for ways to help advance His cause and add others to His kingdom. But, in time something happens..we LET THE FIRE GO OUT ! We need to REKINDLE THE FIRE . How can I recognize when the FIRE is going out? Let me give you some of the warning signs …
- Reduction in Involvement . Quit teaching classes . Just continue to allow others to carry the load. Too much effort and time to prepare. No longer see souls as needing the gospel or being lost . Spiritual condition of others no longer a priority. No longer greet visitors . Just want to rush home, not even taking time to notice if someone is visiting. Quit attending functions that include other brethren . When opportunities to be with other brethren present themselves outside of the meeting times, I just don’t go! Spiritual energy cannot be replenished with less involvement! Jam.4:17; Rom.12:10
- Reduction in Spiritual Hunger . Stop reading and studying . No longer put effort and time into reading and studying the Bible. 2) No longer attend the Bible classes . Too busy and tired to attend the Sunday morning or midweek Bible studies. No longer attend gospel meetings . I cannot fit time to attend other meetings, or even our own, into my schedule! More concern with sermon length than learning and growing! A clock watcher whose only concern is how long it will last instead of the subject matter. When worldly things choke out the word, the hunger is gone. Drifting is inevitable! Matt.5:6; 1 Pet. 2:1-3; Heb.5:12-14.
- Lack of Appreciation . Hyper-critical stage—see nothing good. Everything is just doom and gloom. Complain constantly . Something is always wrong. Wonder why people seem to be avoiding you? Elders, preacher, teachers, classes.. . Elders are not doing their job, the preacher has been here too long; what are the deacons doing; don’t like some of the teachers... No patience dealing with others. Everyone and everything that is done just upsets me. One has entered the dying stage. The fire is beginning to smolder and will soon go out! Gal.6:10; Matt.7:12; Jno.13:34,35.
- Lack of Will or Motivation . No motivation is left. Nothing seems to please me, and I can’t get motivated about spiritual matters. Any little thing will keep me from the services . Headaches, tiredness, stress over work, kids, etc. I b egin to question my faith . Not really sure anymore that it’s necessary to be a Christian. I’m a good person; do I really need to go all the time? When a person’s motivation and will dies, the fire is in grave danger of going out! 2 Cor.13:5; Lk.14:16-24 (excuses); 2 Cor.8:12.
- Why do I need to Rekindle the Fire? You Need to Do It for Yourself ! Past performance will mean nothing if you quit now! ( Ezek.18:24 ) You need to endure the race. How can you stand up to trial and persecutions if the fire goes out? ( Heb.12:1,2 ) You know that, in the end, it will be worth all you give! ( 1 Pet.1:3-5 )
- Why do I need to Rekindle the Fire? You Need to Energize the Church Here ! This church needs workers and energy! ( 1 Cor.12:14-25) It needs givers, not just takers. ( Gal.6:1,2 ) The entire church’s energy is depleted, and it will get weaker and weaker. The Lord is counting on all of us! ( Matthew 12:30 )
- Why do I need to Rekindle the Fire? You Need to Influence the Salvation of Your Family ! Your children need to see your example! ( Col.3:21) Godly homes give them direction in life. ( Prov. 6:22 ) As the family goes, so goes the Church! ( Eph.6:1-4 ) If homes are weak, the Lord’s church will also be weakened. Children left to themselves will drift toward destruction. We have to “fight and be focused” to keep them on the right path!
- How do I Rekindle the Fire? Make sure you are using the RIGHT FUEL to build your fire! ! God’s Word. ( Jno.6:66-68) Real commitment and determination! ( Matt. 6:33 ; 1 Cor.15:58 ) Steadfast in Prayer! ( 1 Thess.5:17 ) Involvement with other spiritual people. ( Rom.12:10 ) Past heroes of faith. ( Heb.11 ) Walking with the wise will make us wise. Examples of the past can reignite the fire! Like the old CORN FLAKES commercial –” TRY IT AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME !”
