God’s fire does not destroy—it purifies. If we allow His flame to touch our lives, He burns away what is not ours to carry. Then, like John the Baptist, we become people who are truly alive.

Sirach 48:1-4, 9-11 | Matthew 17:10-13

Originally preached on the 11th day of December, 2021, at the Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City, Utah.
