On Fire For God
"On fire for God" is an expression often used in respect of persons who are engaged in serving God in such a way that their activities reflect a 'burning' desire to fulfil their calling. This often manifests itself in what might be regarded as foolish activity, such as evangelising (preaching) on the streets.
