God Is A Consuming Fire

God is desirous of His people going deeper into His heart and being completely consumed with His pure fire. To be an individual after His heart speaks of being passionate about His desires and intents. I can tell you from the spiritual experiences and encounters God has so graciously allowed me to participate with Him in that there is no competition or human jealousy element to anything that transpires at the Throne of God in heaven. All of heaven has a laser-like focus and passionately desires for mankind to know and function in the eternal plan of God. It is a privilege to know God's plan and live in His heart. May we all be consumed by His fire and jealousy to see individuals all over the world come to know His plan and purpose for their lives.

What is the eternal punishment of the lost? What is the eternal life that God promises his people? What is this “hell” which is claimed as part of Christian belief but goes against our sense of justice and rightness? Why were Adam and Eve thrown out of Eden? Can a God of love send most of those he has made in his own image to a place of nonstop torment? What is the connection between the current heaven and earth and the new heaven and earth that God promises? Beginning with the tree of life, and taking Hebrews 12.29, “Our God is a consuming fire,” as his pivotal text, Michael Greed addresses these and similar questions. His central argument is that there is only one fire in the Bible—our God, who is a consuming, purifying fire.

A Transforming Knowledge of the Living God The timeless appeal of this classic book, written by a preacher with a worldwide ministry during the first half of the twentieth century, demonstrates the deep hunger for a saving knowledge of God present in each generation. Arthur Pink sought to give readers not just a theoretical knowledge of God but pointed them toward a personal relationship of yielding to him and living according to his biblical precepts. Pink's book explores attributes such as God's decrees, foreknowledge, sovereignty, holiness, grace, and mercy, among many others, all packaged in a style especially useful for pastors, teachers, and Bible students. Our God who is above all names cannot be found through human searching alone, Pink teaches, but can be known only as he is revealed by the Holy Spirit through his living Word.

Many Christian books today are written mainly to provide doctrinal information or instruction on conduct. These purposes give us more knowledge about Jesus, but do not provide a personal introduction to the God of the universe, who loves us with an unconditional love. Our Maker—who created time, space, matter, and existence—is a caring God, who wants us to know Him as intensely as He knows us. Carol Delvic Burchett’s Consuming Fire … Light of Love is a thirty-one-day devotional work written to guide you into a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Each day’s entry is separated into three parts: an exhortation, a poem, and a prayer. These are accompanied by Scripture verses depicting the intimacy of God’s presence. Burchett gives God the full and complete glory He is due and provides you with guidance designed to bring you into a closer and more intimate relationship with almighty God. So many Christians sincerely long for a deeper and more powerful encounter with God, one that captivates their hearts and leads them to personally seek His face and listen for the sound of His voice. Consuming Fire … Light of Love conveys the reality of God’s infinite light embodied in His immeasurable love and allows you to encounter this glorious Savior in a new way as His heart is revealed to you.

The fall of the Confederacy proved traumatic for a people who fought with the belief that God was on their side. Yet, as Eugene D. Genovese writes in A Consuming Fire, Southern Christians continued to trust in the Lord's will. The churches had long defended "southern rights" and insisted upon the divine sanction for slavery, but they also warned that God was testing His people, who must bring slavery up to biblical standards or face the wrath of an angry God. In the eyes of proslavery theorists, clerical and lay, social relations and material conditions affected the extent and pace of the spread of the Gospel and men's preparation to receive it. For proslavery spokesmen, "Christian slavery" offered the South, indeed the world, the best hope for the vital work of preparation for the Kingdom, but they acknowledged that, from a Christian point of view, the slavery practiced in the South left much to be desired. For them, the struggle to reform, or rather transform, social relations was nothing less than a struggle to justify the trust God placed in them when He sanctioned slavery. The reform campaign of prominent ministers and church laymen featured demands to secure slave marriages and family life, repeal the laws against slave literacy, and punish cruel masters. A Consuming Fire analyzes the strength, weakness, and failure of the struggle for reform and the nature and significance of southern Christian orthodoxy and its vision of a proper social order, class structure, and race relations.
