His Passion

       We are passionate about  many things. We love sports, food, hobbies, and things. We are about to enter a season in this culture were lines are drawn. Football in America splits, families, the works place and friends. Some of us wont see many of our friends on Saturdays for months. Why? We root for opposing teams and we are passionate about it.  We are zealous for many things in this world. What if you had that same zeal and passion for something else? What if your passion was the same as Gods?

       Christ showed us what His Fathers passion was. (John 3:16) Christ showed us He  lived off the passion of God. (John 4:34)  Christ shared that passion. (Lk. 19:10) Christ died for the passion of His father. (John 19:30) Christ never guessed what He was to be about. He never walked through life being passionate about frivols things that here today and gone tomorrow. (1 John 2:17) We are to be like Christ in all we do. (1 John 2:6).  Have the same passion as the Father .

       As Christians our goal is the same as God’s. Save souls. Get them to the knowledge of truth, teach them to grow in it, and  do our best to make sure they get to heaven. (1 Tim. 2:4) Christ gave His life for many. Let us do the same. (Matt. 20:28) Christ gave His all. (Phil. 2:5-11) God expects us to give our all for His passion. (Matt. 22:37) This type of life and having His passion make us able to say “...to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Phil. 1:21).

     Don’t be lukewarm. If its not okay to be a fair-weather fan for your favorite sports team than why is ok to be that way for Christ? (Rev. 3:15-16) Give your all, all the time. Living every moment having the same passion as God. (Rm. 12:11)

Have His Passion!

My Thoughts

Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.

"I Don't Wana Go" :(

Christianity is much more than just Sunday morning. In fact it’s an everyday focus, "pick up your cross daily" Christ said ( Luke 9:23 ).  Because of that everyday race running the assembling of the saints should be what we look forward to ( Heb. 12:1-2, 10:25 ). It's the one place we can be around those we are in fellowship with that are seeking to achieve the same goal, Heaven. A place to be rejuvenated, to mature, and to worship God. A reason why you should be seeking such assembling's of the saints and excited to be a part of it is that there is nothing else like it. You were made one of them when you were immersed into Christ. You live every day without that group at your side. So a few days a week you get to be around the saints ( Eph. 2:19, 2 Cor. 13:13 ). Who see the world the way you do ( Romans 12:2; James 4:4 ). Who live in the world the way you do ( Matt. 5:13-16 ). Who desire to be like Christ like you do ( Phil. 2:5; 1 John 2:6 ). Most importantly ...

Your Structure

“But  I  discipline  my  body and bring it into subjection, lest, when  I  have preached to others,  I myself  should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27). It would be best if you worked on creating in your mind mental structures for success. A study was done where  two basketball teams had to shoot free throws. One group went out and shot 100 free throws with something life 30% accuracy. The second group had sat for 30 minutes and visualized making a perfect free throw 100 times. That team went out and shot 100 free throws with 75% accuracy. What is the difference? The mental structure. You can do the same. Paul said, “I discipline my body, I seek to please God.” Just like Paul, we must get in our heads what we will do to be successful in Christ. Work to create Godly mental structures.                          ...
