The Reasons We Ablaze

• For Gods Love
• We love him, because he first loved us. (JOHN 1
  419 )
• Serving God
• Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the
  least of these my brothers, you did it to me.
  (Matthew 2520)

The Reasons We Ablaze

• Urgent Needs Around
• For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat I was
  thirsty, and ye gave me drink I was a stranger,
  and ye took me in Naked, and ye clothed me I
  was sick, and ye visited me I was in prison, and
  ye came unto me. (MAT 2535 -36)
• Gospel Unlimited
•  For to everyone who has will be given, and he
  will have more but from him who has not, even
  what he has will be taken away. (Matthew 2529)
