When I was a boy, in the spring of the year, when the snow had melted away on the New England hills where I lived, I used to take a certain kind of glass and hold it up to the warm rays of the sun. These would strike on it, and I would set the woods on fire.
Faith is the glass that brings the fire of God out of heaven. It was faith that drew the fire down on Carmel and burned up Elijah’s offering. We have the same God today, and the same faith. Some people seem to think that faith is getting old, and that the Bible is wearing out. But the Lord can revive His work now. We each need a simple faith that rests in Jesus Christ.
