The Meaning Behind the Title

The title comes from two places, one being the Bible.
When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the scripture to us?"   — Luke 24: 30-32
 The title also comes from a book I am currently reading called God is Closer Thank You Think. In the book, written by John Ortberg, he talks about this story of Jesus returning to two men walking along the road. He compares this story, the burning of the heart, as feeling God's presence. He questions, 
What if you join the "fellowship of the burning heart" and actually experience His presence?
That's what this blog will be about. My journey and goal to be a part of the fellowship of the burning heart and experience God on a daily basis. To feel my heart burn because I know He is here!
