A Fire to Kindle Quotes

“Sister Lucy once told me that Bruce and the others stood as a warning against becoming that which we might abhor. They have warned us against great evil, to be sure; but what of insipid evil? What of the simple evil of a lethargy of calling? Of settling for the mere tasks that must be done, rather than striving for that which could be done through His power? Out of fear that maybe He won’t actually do what He promised, out of the name of ‘prudence,’ we choose the safe road, the predictable road, instead of the road that surrenders all control.” I paused, shaking my head. “For too long all I wanted was acceptance, a place to stay where people might love and care for me. Our Father has already provided that place, and it is in Him, and He is wherever He sends us. Oh, please, stay and be diligent if He has called you here. But don’t damn as evil that which makes you merely uncomfortable or doesn’t fit your mold. Or that which upsets you because it strikes your conscience.”
