Burning Coals

Proverbs 25:21-22

Myth

Truth

Revenge is a dish best serve fresh & hot!

Challenge

The purpose of a burning coal is to provide fire that produces light, heat & warmth. Instead of allowing your enemies to freeze in the cold, believers are called to live out the Gospel of mercy & grace. Our enemies will be filled with burning convictions to repent through our Christ-like attitude.

The world tells us to hate our enemies. Jesus teaches that we should love our enemies (Matthew 5:44-47) The best revenge towards your enemies is to make them your friend. Who is your enemy? How can you provide burning coals to your enemies?
