Notes from
the smoke
If we are going to get close enough to the fire to help people go from hell to hope, we have to know the way home.
Short pieces on rescue, courage, discernment, and staying rooted — written, not repurposed.
WHY REAL CHRISTIANS RUN TOWARD THE FIRE
Occasionally, a verse grabs hold of your soul and refuses to let go. For me, that verse is Jude 23: “Rescue others by snatching them from the fire.”
Not encourage them from a distance.
Not observe them from a safe place.
Not post about them online.
Rescue them.
Snatch them.
Pull them back from destruction.
It’s active. It’s urgent. It’s messy. It’s costly.
Honestly, I think we’ve forgotten just how radical that calling really is.
