What has thermostat and thermometer got to do with Christianity?

God does not like for us to be lukewarm Christians, God wants us to be hot for his goals. We all have our gifts and are we using them to cause a positive shift in our environment or are we just in a room not making an impact on the atmopshere. Sometimes when we are called to do things we may run away from similar to Joel but God will create an environment where he can use you to solve world issues. We all have an important role to play no matter how big or small.

Significance of boiler in winter

When you turn the heating on it is something you do periodically. You do not leave it on constantly nor do you put it on today then put it on 2 weeks later. In our Christian walk, we need to ensure we power up power spiritually from time to time so that we can have an impact on those around us.

Boilers Need Maintenance

The holy spirit is like the flame that keeps us ignited spiritually. Like anything we all need God to perform maintenance duties on us so that we can perform at our best. When something breaks God has the tools to restore us. The blood flows to cleanse and provide a platform for God to manifest a direct connection with us. 

What Action Can I Take?

When you notice the atmosphere needs positive change, be the change, do not just sit back and watch. You could bit the difference between someone deciding to take their life and choosing to live another day. Remember to be a thermostat that can make a difference, not a thermometer that can discern but do nothing.
