The Fire That Never Goes Out | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.46

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 12:1"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship." (NIV)Every religion has an altar somewhere — a place set apart, a fire someone tends. In the Old Testament, that fire was never allowed to go out, day or night. But Paul makes a strange claim in Romans 12: the fire doesn't stay on the altar anymore. It has to keep burning at a desk on Monday, over a sink full of dishes on Tuesday, in the middle of an ordinary Wednesday. If worship only shows up for one hour a week, something has gone out that was never supposed to. Today's passage asks a simple, unsettling question: what does it look like to carry that fire past the door?This episode is part of our season through Romans.
