I am currently reading the book "From Embers to a Flame" by Harry L. Reeder III. It is a rich and full book for the church and for church leaders. Here is one quote he got from Matthew Henry that I am sharing with you as we consider our job to follow Jesus and to keep the flame burning strong.
"If the presence of Christ’s grace and
Spirit be slighted, we may expect the presence of his displeasure. He will come in a way of judgment, and that suddenly and surprisingly, upon impenitent churches and sinners: he will unchurch them, take
away his gospel, his ministers, and his ordinances from them, and what will the churches…do when the gospel is removed?
-Matthew Henry, Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson,
1991), 6:906.
