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.

The Quiet Work

“For even the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).      We often think that to do big things; then earth-shattering events need to be taking place around us. The Good Samaritan did a big thing, and there was not even a mention of an earthquake. Sometimes the road to success and greatness is filled with little things done right. It’s a road where every brick was placed with care, love, and service. We pursue excellence in everything that we do. We want to be great in the kingdom of God. Everyone does. Jesus says to achieve this we need to be a servant. A servant is a quiet, hardworking, and devoted person. They don’t make waves in the ocean. However, they make constant ripples in the pond. The reason for this being as servants of God, we serve everyone, everywhere, every time. That means we quietly serve everyone, even the unserviceable, undeserving, uncaring, and undesirable. No, it doesn’t bring down buildings and ch

It's A Location Problem

       Two men were walking down a street on opposite sides. It began to rain. It only rained on one side of the road. At the next crosswalk, the man who had walked in the rain looked at the other and said, "How are you dry?" he replied with this one word, "Location." We need to understand that location plays a huge role in a lot of things in our lives. Everything from our character to our mental stability is effect by our location. It would make complete sense that where our heart was located would determine how we live. Our treasure is where our heart is. Meaning that what you will live for, work for, die for, and yearn for whatever our heart is set on. As Christians, our hearts should be in God. If it is, the perfect law of liberty becomes the greatest blessing in the world. It turns from a daunting list of dos and don'ts to a beautiful guide to greatness. It's all about where your heart is. Then that leaves us with this question, "Where is your he
