candles vs. people

DO CANDLES LIGHT THEMSELVES?

Unless you're being ridiculous, the answer is no. Candles only ignite when something else lights them on fire.

DO "UNLIT" CANDLES DO ANYTHING?

No, they just sit there. They're boring.

if you haven't gotten the metaphor by now, we as followers of Christ are "candles". One person ignited leads to another (ultimately the first 'lighting' being God).


but when we're not lit,
we're boring,
we don't do
much.


but when we're on fire we produce something,
we become interesting,
(to finish the metaphor out, we smell good; we produce wax, we produce odor, etc.)


"Jordan, how do we "light" others on fire, or get "lit" on fire?"

fellowship.
accountability.
faith stories.



blogs, maybe?
