My Heart Is On Fire By Doug Apple - A Short Christian Devotional To Open The Scriptures And Make Your Heart Burn Within You!

I’m Doug Apple...and my heart is on fire. (Luke 24:32) Can you name even one person who lives close enough to God to hear what He is saying? That’s a provocative question, and it comes from Jeremiah 23:18 in The Living Bible. God was talking about the false prophets in Jerusalem, and He said, “Can you name even one of these prophets who lives close enough to God to hear what He is saying? Has even one of them cared enough to listen?” The answer was no, and the result was going to be judgment on Jerusalem. Now the question comes down to us today. Can you name even one person who lives close enough to God to hear what He is saying? That got me thinking about this. What does it even mean to “live close to God”? What would be the keys to living close to God? Here’s what I came up with. Number one: repentance. God is holy and our sin keeps us away from Him, so we need to repent and be forgiven in order to live closer to God. That means we are sorry for our sin
