Fires are amazing. They bring life and warmth to an otherwise cold and dark world around us. A fire can also mean the difference between life and death in some situations. Fires need to be cared for, however. Without proper attention, they can smolder and die out.
The apostle, Paul, told his protege, Timothy, to fan the flames of the gift of God within him. It was a charge to be attentive to the gift of the Spirit that would empower and sustain him throughout the rest of his life as a pastor of the early church. Paul was insistent that Timothy take special care of this, and it is every bit as urgent and essential for us today.
