random thought

ok so todays blog is just some random thoughts, or thought, i have had.  Just finished Joshua and havn't decided what NT Book i am going to begin reading, but i should have decided by tomorrow.

Passion, where is it?  what has happened to it?

ok let's start with What is Passion?

Webster's definition:  a strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept

(Merriam-Webster, Inc: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. 10th ed. Springfield, Mass., U.S.A. : Merriam-Webster, 1996, c1993)

 

I can go with that, so the better question is where is our strong liking, or desire for devotion to CHRIST?

 

Now listen, I absolutely will not say I am more passionate than others, that's not fair.  REality is some days my passion is greater than others.

 

I have some students that clearly show they have a passion for Christ, and other's well, they act like they could care less.  I struggle with this angering me, How can we act like we can care less about Christ with what He has done for us.  I struggle with watching the ungratefulness that generations both young and old have for Christ and His bride (the church).

 

So what changed?  How did we get to this point?  what do we need to do to change it?  How should we measure passion? 

 

What does God think about passion?

 

^15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! ^16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

(Re 3:15-16, NIV)

 

Lord I don't want to be just luke warm.....who is with me?
