He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart … for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers. — 2 Chronicles 25:2; 20:33.
“Daddy, I wish you would make more registers all over the house so that it would be warmer.” Daddy smiled at his boy’s conception that more registers were needed. The need was “more fire” in the furnace. Many of the Lord’s people are thinking of more committees, conferences, resolutions and what not, when the real need lies in wholehearted, holy zeal, living, testimony, giving, prayer and Bible study in the power of the Holy Spirit of God.

O Thou who all things canst control
Chase this dread coldness from my soul;
Touch my cold breast with heavenly fire;
With holy conquering zeal inspire.
