Good morning!!! Our Fire-starter comes from 1 Chronicles 23. Our
Fire-starter thought is: it never stopped, it was continual.

This week has been a great week as we have had vacation Bible School.
The Lord allowed me to preach 10x this week. From here to Pakistan and
Nepal. The work never stops its continual. I thought of that as I looked
at our text. You find where the work of the Lord was continual. I want
to remind us it’s continual today as well. There’s no time for stopping,
souls are lost, Christians need to be encouraged and Saints need to be
motivated and these things should never stop for anyone.
I want to encourage you this morning don’t stop!!!!!

1 Chronicles 23:1-32 KJV
So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king
over Israel. [2] And he gathered together all the princes of Israel,
with the priests and the Levites. [3] Now the Levites were numbered from
the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man
by man, was thirty and eight thousand. [4] Of which, twenty and four
thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the Lord ; and six
thousand were officers and judges: [5] Moreover four thousand were
porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I
made, said David, to praise therewith. [6] And David divided them into
courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. [7]
Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei. [8] The sons of Laadan; the
chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. [9] The sons of Shimei;
Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the
fathers of Laadan. [10] And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and
Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. [11] And Jahath
was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many
sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father’s
house. [12] The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
[13] The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that
he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to
burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his
name for ever. [14] Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were
named of the tribe of Levi. [15] The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and
Eliezer. [16] Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. [17] And
the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other
sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. [18] Of the sons of
Izhar; Shelomith the chief. [19] Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the
first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
[20] Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.
[21] The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar,
and Kish. [22] And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and
their brethren the sons of Kish took them. [23] The sons of Mushi;
Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. [24] These were the sons of Levi
after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they
were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for
the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and
upward. [25] For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath given rest unto
his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever: [26] And also
unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any
vessels of it for the service thereof. [27] For by the last words of
David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above: [28]
Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of
the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the
purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house
of God; [29] Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat
offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in
the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and
size; [30] And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and
likewise at even; [31] And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord
in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number,
according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord
: [32] And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the
sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
