Passion for …?
What a fantastic word! Passion, We’ve seen and heard this word used in so many things, for Sports, for relationships, in the Movies. What are you passionate for?
Sometimes i like to study words, so hence when I think of the word passion i find it means;
-A powerful emotion, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger
-Ardent love, lust.
-Boundless enthusiasm
-An abandoned display of emotion, especially of anger
-The sufferings of Jesus
-Martyrdom
When you consider some of the words above heres the question, what are we really passionate about? I’m not asking what would we like to be passionate about? but rather What are we Passionate about?
As Christians we all want to “be passionate about Jesus“, We desire for that to get deeper. Pastor Phil a few weeks ago talked about our “roots”, what have we put or roots into, what do we spend most of our time doing. If you put your time and energies and passion into God, then you will not fall in the times of the storm as You will have deep roots, but when we have shallow roots a gentle storm can make us topple!
Lets get rid of sinful passions today – and replace them with Godly Passions
Galatians 5:24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Today lets be a generation of “passionate believers of God”
Lets face it, when its a passion – It’s not ritual!
