In one of the strangest parables of Luke's Gospel, Jesus has a man praise an dishonest employee because he showed ingenuity and enthusiasm for self-preservation.  Then, the Lord draws a stunning observation: "children of this world" often show more initiative than the "children of the light."  This homily explores how Christians might get more fired up for their Faith in Christ--the Source of Fire itself.  (Preached at St. Peter and Paul's Church in Easton, MD--Sept. 22, 2019)
