Our Refuge and Strength!
Psalm 46:1-3. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. Because I have an inquiring mind, I did some research this morning before starting to…

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
I used to be "on fire" for the Christian god. Now I'm just glad not to be kindling.
I was supposed to burn for him during this life to avoid burning for eternity. But all I was really doing was laying myself on an incredibly premature funeral pyre.
I am relieved to have put out that all-consuming fire. I can see more clearly now that the smoke is gone.

Quiet Time 2/19
What am I feeling today:
just tired. I can’t really identify any emotion that stands out, I’m just pretty tired and I know I have a long day ahead of me🥲
Sermon Notes: “The Lord Reveals Himself To Man!” (Part 1/2)
1 Corinthians 10:6-10 NIV
“Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.” We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.”
"if a man does not have purpose, he'll indulge (live for) pleasure"
idolatry, sexual immorality, testing Christ, grumbling -> Which of these four gets me the most :
they all used to be a problem for me but lately I feel it’s been grumbling. I’ve felt overwhelmed and overworked and really need a break from everything. But I know I can’t take a break, and I brought all the responsibilities on myself so I have to keep seeing them through even though I’m drained.
1) God Reveals His Presence in "Strange "Ways!
Exodus 3:1-6 NIV
“Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.”
Moses was 80 years old during this time which is kinda wild to think about. I think because of the movie I had always been under the impression that he was younger. But it make you think, God waited to use him until this level of maturity.
another note: we're insignificant without God - He empowers us! ‭‭
Hebrews 12:28-29 NIV
“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.””
are we a fire? fired up for God? are we a thermostat or a thermometer (do we let our environment change us or to we remain true to where we stand and change our environment)? leader or follower? how is God revealing Himself to us? has being a disciple become strange to you?
Isaiah 5:20 NIV
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”
‭‭In this world, things have flipped. What’s good has been considered evil (thinking about how a lot of people in the current day are blasphemous towards God, angry, vile, hurt, etc.) and what’s evil is considered good (after becoming a disciple, you really realize all the sin that has become normalized in every day life, it’s everywhere!)

Take heed lest you refuse the One speaking. For if they did not escape, having refused the One divinely instructing them on earth, much less we, turning away from the One from the heavens, whose voice shook the earth at that time; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” And this, “Yet once more,” signifies the removing of the things being shaken, as having been created, so that the things not being shaken should remain. Therefore, receiving a kingdom not to be shaken, we may have grace, by which we may serve God well pleasingly, with fear and reverence. For also, our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:25-29

maybe giving monte cristo a sword is fitting after all.. and considering that dantes got taught by a priest... suffered through hell and despair... he'd know about sins more than anyone else as he clawed his way out of the chateau d'if..a demon seeking revenge yet bearing a Christian's teaching deep into his heart...moreover, his fires-MCM powered by 14 relics that come from the mountain of Christ...that power + a sword symbolism in my head got me to find sooo many bible verses about it actually?? wtf
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. (Revelations 1:16)
Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life. (Genesis 3:22-24)
For our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:29)
Bearing a flaming sword to which drive out Man who has eaten the forbidden fruit and thus has caused him to bear sin...the word of God, the holy spirit presented as fire.... flame is countlessly associated to God just as Hell is with the lake of fire to which burn sinners for their misdeeds...a flaming sword first mentioned to be held by one of the upper echelons that help govern Heaven and attend to the Creator Himself... the bible lore is driving me insane. i cant believe a 2D white anime boy is causing me to be like this ????????????????

BECOMING A BURNING BUSH
Luke 3:16-17 - "John answered and said to them all, "As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."
Now the question is, who will burn in this generation? Who will press and receive a revelation that has the power to affect an entire group of people? The Father wants to empower His people with faith and insight that activates His plans in the earth now! He is raising up a people that will burn with revelation and release the Kingdom.
In Exodus 3, Moses is on the mountain of God when he encounters a burning bush. From the midst of fire, the voice of the Lord spoke, calling him back to purpose. There is a desperate need in this hour for people to hear clear direction and encounter the fiery presence of God. A sense of lethargy and confusion has gripped the hearts of many.
BURNING FOR HIS GLORY
God's voice dwells in the midst of the fire!  We are not just to look for burning bushes but we are actually to become burning bushes for His glory as we demonstrate and carry His love and His Kingdom into the world through dying to our personal agendas as we carry out our Christ calling! Fire consumes the sacrifice of our self-life as we bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom. (Romans 12:1-2)
"For our God is a consuming fire." -  Hebrews 12:29
We are called to burn for Him and be voices of awakening. The Father desires to set regions ablaze with holy fire, but it will take surrendered ones who have come to understand their Christ identity and are burning. There are heavenly plans for transformation, awakening, and outpouring, but the plans look much different than the wisdom of man.
It will take those who fully yield and obey to give birth to Heaven's agenda for this hour which includes discipling and equipping the Body of Christ into and understanding of their Christ identity.
Mark 9:49 - "For everyone will be salted with fire."
You must push forward with your spiritual eyes open and carry a strong spirit of faith and authority in advancing in His purpose for your life. Cast out all false spirits and shake off their attacks.
You are called to burn for Him!
You are called to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom and gain ground.
You are called to be a Heat Seeker!
Feel His cross, feel His blood – it is real, it is truth. He is alive forevermore and SO ARE YOU!

Our God is a Consuming Fire
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire. — Hebrews 12 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain.

“Blessed are the pure in heart: they will see God”
Our purity of heart is always the Magdalene’s purity. We are, all of us, sinners, and the word of God itself condemns us, if we deny it. “If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8). “If we say we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 John 1:10).
According to scripture, God declares that we are all sinners. We all need to “wash our robes in the blood of the Lamb” (Rev. 7:14). It is the blood of Christ alone that can purify us (1 John 1:7, 9). It is by eating the Body of Christ that we are transformed into this pure flesh.
For me, the great joy of my priesthood, unworthy as I am, and - let’s face it - impure as I am, is to be able nonetheless to offer to God the pure sacrifice of Christ: “and from the many gifts you have given us we offer to you, God of glory and majesty, this holy and perfect sacrifice: the bread of life and the cup of eternal salvation.” The sin in us runs so deep that we cannot liberate ourselves except by dying on the cross of Christ for the sake of the new life of the resurrection.
“Therefore we have been buried with Christ by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4)
“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me” (Galatians 2:19-20).
It is by this means that this wondrous new life, announced by the prophets, is realized in us. It isn’t so much that the law is changed; it is the heart itself that is changed. We receive a new heart, the heart of Christ by the gift of the Holy Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of Love. In him we turn with filial confidence to the Father crying, “Abba” in obedient love, and through him we love one another.
Something completely new is born: a new life is given us. The Christian’s purity of heart is Christ’s purity of heart. It is grace, freely given. It comes from afar. It is born from the wounded side of the crucified. It surpasses all our petty efforts, it surpasses even our desires because it is holy with the holiness of God and sets our human hearts on fire. It is an infusing fire that does not tolerate sin, limitations, unlove in us. It consumes, it burns, it purifies by the intensity of its light. “Our God is a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:29).
Please understand me: I am not limiting myself to chastity alone. What is of interest here is purity of heart. Interior and exterior chastity, when it is both the grounding and the fruit of charity, is a wondrous song of love to God.
Purity of heart consists in loving conformable with Love, that is to say, conformable with God. Note well: it consists in loving. Too often purity of heart is spoken of as not loving this or that, as if it were some sort of barrier. In addition, there is a danger of too great insistence on “guarding the heart” especially if it is wrongly understood.
To be sure, we are very frail and we need to protect ourselves from our own weakness, cutting ourselves off from situations that might cause our downfall - temptations, etc. Purity of heart involves well-balanced vigilance and an appropriate self-distrust. These are indispensable. Nevertheless, the ideal ought to be affirmative. Our vocation is to love - not to love less, but more. To love, firstly, God. That is clear because we all use our energy to focus our attention on him. But also on our neighbors, humanity, the entire universe, which we discover and love in the true reality of the depths of God. And this love should radiate on the people we are given to meet and walk beside.
Therefore, let us seek to love more deeply, more sincerely, without any thought of return for ourselves, conforming to God, and for the glory of God. But for the love of Christ, by faithfulness to his blood shed for sinners and the redemption of the world, in order not to grieve the Spirit of Christ, who lives in us and who pours out his love in our hearts, let us love with all our hearts, with all our strength, with all our mind. The rest is nothing. This is true purity of heart. . . .

🕊️🌺Wendy🌺🕊️:
The Fall of Man God's Word had gone forth: Man would have dominion over the works of God's hands.
Satan challenged it. If he could stop God's Word from coming to pass, he could defeat God.
His tactics were simple. He tempted the will of man. Man yielded and turned his will crosswise to the will of God.
Some of—if not the—saddest words in the Bible are:
GENESIS 3:8-10 34 Circle of Glory 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Early one Sunday morning I was meditating on these things in preparation for the class. I'd put on a roast for dinner. And I was fixing my hair in front of the wide mirror in our only bathroom before waking the family.
From behind me, high and to the right, I heard a Voice. It probably was not audible—but to me it seemed almost audible. When the question came, I knew it was the Lord.
Do you know Romans 3:23?
My first thought was, Thank God, it's one I know. I grew up in Baptist churches. Baptists lead people to the Lord down the Roman Road. Romans 3:23 is the first step.
So I whirled toward the Voice and quoted rather glibly at first, "For all have sinned, and come short of...Ah!...." I gasped as I saw it! The last four words fell feebly from my lips trailing almost to a whisper, "...the glory of God...."
The Voice spoke the revelation I'd glimpsed.
That's what happened in the fall. I crowned man with glory. Man sinned and fell short of the glory.
I felt I would faint with the revelation of the fall from such glorious heights to such heinous depths.
Then the Voice literally revived me with words based on Hebrews 2:10:
But the Captain of your salvation is bringing many sons to Glory.
35 The Blood and the Glory I saw it for the first time! The circle of glory!
Man was crowned with glory. He fell from the glory. Through Jesus Christ he can return to the glory.
Then in a flash of revelation across my spirit I saw the predicament of the fall.
To the right, high and lifted up, was the place of the throne of God.
To the left, low and very low, stood Satan with man cringing at his side.
Between the two places there was a great gulf fixed.
I heard these words.
You always look at the fall from man's viewpoint. I want you to look at it from My point of view.
Within my spirit an automatic response arose, "I will be happy to, if You are pleased to show it to me."
The reaction of a natural man to a fallen son is to grab him and clasp him to his bosom. Had I clasped Adam to My bosom, I would have consumed him. My glory would have burned him up. And in him mankind.
Satan would have stopped My words from coming to pass. For I had spoken that man would have dominion over the works of My hands.
Then I saw my first son, Terry. He stood tall, broad shouldered and thin at the waist with a large silver buckle fastening the leather belt around his blue jeans. I felt an urge to throw my arms around his middle in a tight squeeze.
What if you could not hug your son? For if you hugged him you would consume him.
I'm a hugging mother. So the Holy Spirit taught me with a hugging-mother parable. Back then when I hugged Terry he would sometimes say, "Aw, Mom." But he liked it and so did I. I couldn't imagine not being able to hug him. In fact I quickly considered how I probably would forget and 36 Circle of Glory he would be destroyed. I somehow felt a little of God's position at the fall of man.
And in a new way I understood how sin cannot stand in the Presence of God. It is written, "For our God is a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29).
What does He consume? Sin.
I understood the precautions of the Old Testament.
God's glory stood behind a thick curtain in the Holy of Holies. The High Priest alone could enter there once a year on The Day of Atonement.
And then he took great precautions.
It wasn't that God did not want mankind in His Presence. It was that man could not endure the glory of God.
I thought of when David brought up the Ark of the Presence on a cart rather than in the way God had instructed them to carry it for their own safety. When the oxen stumbled, Uzzah reached out to steady the ark, and died. It wasn't that God was just waiting to get him. God's glory broke forth to judge sin when the two came into contact. (2 Samuel 6; 1 Chronicles 13.) Again I saw the scene with Satan clasping the cowering man and laughing up at God across the gulf. He thought he'd won. He thought he'd succeeded in separating God and his man forever. Satan knew that Adam, who once delighted in the Presence of God, would now be consumed by it.
His whining words ran together as he sneered over and over at God, "What-are-ya-gonna-do-now? What-are-ya-gonna-do-now? What-are-ya-gonna-do-now?"
I was made to know that God did not answer him.
But I also knew that God had a plan. A. plan which began in heaven before the foundation of the world. God did not need to do anything now.
He already had done something.☕️Billye Brim

For every abomination and for every sin, there must of necessity be a just recompense. For God is holy and a just judge. His wrath burns like fire against all iniquity; the fury of His wrath is like a consuming fire that no man can bear (Hebrews 12:29).
In this Bible verse, Ezekiel speaks of temporal judgment on Israel for nation sins, but the same principle applies to the world today and its eternal judgment and punishment if we do not humble ourselves before Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ and repent. He is the almighty and righteous one who inhabits eternity. His holiness is unspeakably pure and merciful. At the same time, His hatred of sin and blasphemy towards Him is just and indescribably intense. We thank Father God Almighty in Heaven that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to bear the fury of His wrath against sin on the cross at Calvary, for we could not bear it ourselves. We could not quench the fire or His wrath though we suffered for all eternity, but Jesus has availed for us. Praise be to His holy name and the Kingdom of Heaven forevermore!
Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven (John 3:5, 14:6), the only way to salvation (Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9) and He is resurrection and the life (John 11:25-26). As true and born-again Christians, we believe in Him and His Holy Word. We know though our mortal bodies should die, He will raise us up and into new and glorious bodies (The Rapture). We who are truly His and alive at His second coming will never die, and our bodies will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and so shall we ever be with Him in His Kingdom of Heaven forevermore (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). This is one of many promises given to us by God Himself. Let this promise of future resurrection give us hope and peace and encourage us always. Thank God for His strength and guidance when we are faced with sin and temptation. Thank Him for His mercy and grace. Through Bible study and prayer, God reveals His wisdom and guides us to see opportunities to grow closer to Him and grow spiritually. He gives us direction to live our lives according to His Holy Word and will. We must make God top priority everyday! May we be motivated to spread God's Holy Word and Gospel Truth to all the Earth, knowing that it is the only hope of all those lost in their sins. Let us not hold out a false hope for men to be saved without the Gospel, but instead, strive to do our part to get the Gospel out to a lost and dying world.
Leaning on Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ through prayer and His Holy Word and Spirit strengthens us and our knowledge and wisdom about God and His Gospel Truth, exposing these imposters. May God help us to seek and lean on Him daily to gain the strength, wisdom and spiritual discernment needed to expose Satan and his imposters who seek to destroy us and God's ultimate Truth. Everyday, we must remember to share Jesus Christ's Gospel Truth with the world and to thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for the grace that He poured out for us on the cross at Calvary. He has freed us from the burdens of sin and from the eternal damnation of Hell. In all we say and do, may all praise, honor and glory always be given to Him and His Kingdom of Heaven.
With renewed minds, hearts and wills, let us serve Him humbly and faithfully out of pure love and grateful rejoicing. May He remind us of His presence and to remain at peace, fully knowing that all will be well because He is always with us. Let us seek Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ today and everyday with all our heart and being, looking for His love, light and will for our lives with each step we take. Let us seek to please Him with our thoughts, words, and deeds and seek to advance His Kingdom of Heaven and His glory with our lives. Let us seek Him from a pure and humble heart, and when we so seek, we believe Him and His promise that we will find. May He help us all to be more sensitive to the teaching ministry of His Holy Word and Spirit, relying on Him and allowing Him to speak to us and guide us every step of our Christian journey.
God gave us the Holy Bible - His living and Holy Word - to let us know of Him and His abiding love and care as well as guide and prepare us for all our lives. May He help us encourage one another as we continue our walk with Him and our duty to Him daily. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for being present for all our new beginnings and all our lives. May He redirect any anxiety we feel as He provides countless opportunities for growth and change. May we humble ourselves before God always, asking Him to forgive our sins and make our hearts and lives anew through His Holy Word and Spirit. May He help us make Him and His Holy Word top priority, so we can grow spiritually and grow in our relationship with Him as we apply it to our daily lives. Thank God that we can focus on Him and everything about Him, for that is what keeps us sane and at peace. May our words and actions always be a reflection of Him and His Holy Word and Spirit and will.
May He help us to always walk in His grace and Holy Spirit, not by our own measure. May He give us the humble humility to know that our freedom and eternal salvation is found only in Him, so that His grace may sustain us, and we may never lose sight of His love and light and mercy. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for calling us to Him and to serve Him. May He equip us to do all that He has called us to do so that as He works through us, He may use us to produce fruit, to reach others, and to encourage all brothers and sisters in Christ. May He work all of these things in us and through us for His Kingdom and His glory. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for all His creation, for His miraculous ways and for everything He does and has done for us! Keep the faith and keep moving forward in your walk with Jesus! He loves us and He knows what is best for us. Seek, follow and trust in Him - Always!
Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for His Holy Word and for sending His Holy Spirit so that we might have His grace, not only to awaken us and transform our hearts in our spiritual rebirth and guarantee our eternity with Him, but to also call upon Him whenever we are in need. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for all the reminders of His love and mercy and faithfulness within His Holy Word. He is bigger than any challenge or circumstance in our lives.

Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for His Holy Spirit who saves, seals and leads us.

"See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” "
- Hebrews 12:25‭-‬29
