House fires

The fire department will courageously show up if someone's house catches on fire.

However, the fire department is able to protect more lives by teaching families how to reduce the risk of house fires through fire safety education and prevention.

In like manner, when someone's home is being spiritually torched by the devil, the preacher will do his best to help put out the devil's flames. He'll be there to take the 9-1-1 spiritual emergency call. But he would much rather help families reduce the risk of the devil taking a strong-hold in their home through preaching, teaching and Bible prevention principles.

It's better to faithfully attend a local church, and commit to preventing a "spiritual house-fire", than it is to panic call the preacher when an emergency hits.
