DAY 7: THOUGH NONE GO WITH ME, STILL I WILL FOLLOW
There comes a time in all of our walks with Jesus, that spiritual boldness must take over… A fearlessness to SPEAK OUT the truth of the written Word of God despite how contrary it may be to the culture or order of the day. Not out of a cantankerous or brash spirit, no… that approach never brought anybody into a relationship with the real Jesus. That approach has only brought people into a relationship with religion (a list of do’s and don’ts that are impossible to keep in your own strength).
The kind of boldness that I’m talking about speaking with is an undaunted authority that rises up in the hearts of believers and lovingly plants its stake in the ground and says, “Jesus has changed my life! He set me free! He cleansed me of my sins and has even changed my old desires through His Holy Spirit living inside of me! If He could do all this for me, He surely wouldn’t hold back for anyone else! I believe Jesus is who He says He is! He is the way, the truth, and the life! He is the son of God and He did die for my sins! And yes, He did rise up out of that grave on the third day - and HE IS ALIVE AND COMING BACK AGAIN!!!”
To say these things unapologetically with the boldness I am talking about will absolutely cause controversy. It will absolutely cause the world to shun you. It will absolutely cause you to be listed as “one of those types of Christians”. Especially, as we get closer to the return of Jesus. He told us so in Matthew 24.
“Then they will hand you over to [endure] tribulation, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will be offended and repelled [by their association with Me] and will fall away [from the One whom they should trust] and will betray one another [handing over believers to their persecutors] and will hate one another.”

Consumed By Fire is...
No strangers to the road life, up-and coming Contemporary Christian Music band, Consumed By Fire, are living out the name of their band in a brand-new way. Comprised of Caleb Ward (lead vocals), Jordan Ward (harmonies/percussion), Josh Ward (guitar/harmonies), the three brothers from Oklahoma are living out God’s calling for their lives, to share God’s grace far and wide through music.
“If it wasn’t this form of ministry, if it wasn’t music, it would just be something else. Ministry is what we were born to do,” Caleb says. The band’s sound, heavily influenced by the music they grew up on, is thanks in part to their father’s eclectic taste. Filled with honest truths and the band’s honed musicality, “First Things First,” the band’s current radio single, is evidence of Consumed By Fire’s family bond and the unconditional love of both their earthly and heavenly fathers.
As their single climbs up the radio charts, the band is already receiving media attention with spotlights from KLove and Air1 Radio, praising the band for their“deft lyricism and tight harmonies.” With new music on the horizon as well as upcoming tour dates, the band is ready for a new, exciting year of music.
