FOLLOWING THE RISEN CHRIST
DELIVERED ON LORD’S-DAY MORNING, MARCH 28TH, 1880,
C. H. SPURGEON
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on thing. on the earth.”-Colossians 3:1, 2.
Fire in Your Heart is a story of revival that will stir your soul. Evangelist Sammy Tippit has preached throughout Eastern Europe, including Russia and has seen thousands of people in those countries find peace in Jesus Christ, despite persecution, oppression, and dwindling educational and job opportunities. Spiritual awakening has touched millions in Africa, South America, Korea, and Eastern Europe. Why, then, have Western Christians, the people who worked so hard to send Christianity eastward, become lukewarm?

BIBLICAL PEACE
PART 1
Are You Thirsty for Living Water? – Thirst is a basic God-given longing for water which is accompanied by a sensation of dryness in one's mouth. In the same way, spiritual thirst is a God-given longing for Jesus “the fountain of living waters” (Jer 2:13), accompanied by a sense of "dryness" in one's soul (cp Ps 42:1-2-note, Ps 63:1-note). A man can live weeks without food, but only a few days without water.
ARE YOU ENTANGLED? - In some of his last words to Timothy, Paul wrote that "No soldier in active service ENTANGLES himself in the affairs of everyday life ("civilian pursuits"), so that he may please the One Who enlisted him as a soldier." (2Ti 2:4-note)
