What’s your passion? No, this is not a trick question, I am just wondering what it is that drives you. What is it that you live for? Sports…family & friends…music…prayer…games…learning (how weird is that!). There is no wrong answer…I’m not taking names so I can condemn you for not saying Jesus…unless of course Jesus is your passion! God created all these things, yeah, even those things that satan corrupts…God created them. In fact, I believe God created them for our good…so what is your passion? Movies…guns…fishing…let’s be honest. I think God wants us to have a passion (perhaps even one other than Jesus). The reason I ask is because, as a follower of Jesus Christ, all we are, all we do, is supposed to point toward Jesus. He does not want, nor intend to be a two-hour topic on Sunday mornings. He wants to be your Lord…24/7/365. If that is true (and I confidently believe it is) then our passions should also point to Jesus. They may take the long route to arrive there, but he is the final destination…the focus of our lives. I believe Christians have a responsibility to witness to their faith (Acts 1:8…“you will tell others” (emphasis added). I also believe God wants us to enjoy life…as he defines it…but whether we do or not, we will be his witnesses. So, what’s your passion…food…reading…jewelry…Harley’s? Does it point to Jesus?
