Dear Fellowship of the Burning Heart:

I sometimes get the feeling that there aren’t many of us around. At times I think people like us make others uncomfortable. So why the trouble? Why the bother? Why no just conform to make ourselves more acceptable? Why not just give up and fit in? Because…

As we like to say: Nothing happens until someone cares. Think about it. Do you begin a new weight loss program, a new exercise regimen, a new renovation project unless you care? If you are satisfied, you won’t put yourself through the discomfort of change. It is the desire to change, the passion to pursue a goal, that sets things in motion. If you want things to be different, you have to care, and the more passionately you care, the stronger the push toward progress.

Holiness is not a condition into which we drift. –John Stott

If we want to make spiritual progress, we must care enough to pursue it. The more we care, the more passionate our pursuit.
