PASSION

-



You really need passion in order to to become successful in almost everything you do. As an athlete, teacher, father, pastor, business man, you name it. Passion you just need it. If you lose the passion in life, you lose the very essence of success.

The Bible is full of verses that talk about passion

Galatians 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.


“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

Passion (from the Latin verb patī meaning to suffer) is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something. (Wikipedia)
So God has very strong feelings for us, He desires us. So how can we develop the same desire for Him?
First of all we need to know Him. It is hard to have a passion for someone you don't know.
So how do we get to know Him?

Spend time with Him. Let God be your guide in life. Let God be that light that shines in the dark, that light that helps you find things. Let God be that voice you can hear everywhere you are. Make God your number one person you think of in good and in bad times.



God is saying I want you to put some power, put some energy, put some emotion into your relationship with Me. Don’t be short about your relationship with Me

Once my wife said to me: I can't understand why it is OK to jump up and down, scream and have passion for your team out in the field and when you do like this, everyone understands you.
But if you scream out to God, jump up and down for Him and have a sincere passion for God, then people think you are a lunatic. Why?

Lets be passionate for Him!

    This is a great post because you do need passion in everything. I think people might look at a person praising God in a non-conventional way a lunatic because they can't see your point of view.

    It's like when I'm really getting into painting. I can see and know my passion but other people may think that I've lost my mind. It's all in our pint of view, but in the end I do believe that you need some passion!

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There...

Advent?

I've just now seen a debate program on Swedish TV, were they talked about should or should not when it comes to schools celebrating advent in churches. Some are against it some are for it. One of the guys against it said "it is not good, the children should not be forced to do this against their will. It is something they should do on their free time" "We are living in a secular society!" I agree with the priest that said" we have a secular government., We don't have a secular society since we are the society and I and many others are Christian believers." Very true. The society is US and I and very many others want to continue to go to church, sing advent songs, bless the children and be very proud and grateful that we are living in a "society" were we have the right to go to church. Live out your Christian faith! God bless you all.

Miracles

Do you believe in miracles? That's a question I got the other day from a colleague. Yes I do believe in miracles. I in a way had the experience once . I know many are waiting for a miracle to happen. It can be a lot of things: Get that job you so desperately want, get well from a sickness, get that call from a family member you been loosing track of, many many things. God hears you, God works all the time, God helps you but he does that in HIS time. I believe in miracles, I want miracles to happen, but miracles require one thing! It requires you to be in a so to say desperate state. When God do miracles to us we are in great need. I love miracles do doubt about it, but I do prefer to live with blessings. Do be blessed all the time. To understand what He does to me. It is great to have a miracle recovering from a severe sickness, but it is a blessing to live day by day with good health.. I once heard a preacher said: It’s always better to avoid problems, whi...
