• One Passion ...

  In a youth group meeting, the icebreaker that night was to identify
  the passion of the others in your group. I was surprised at how quickly
  people were able to just quickly name off the biggest passion in each
  person's life. It was obvious. It was easy. they spoke about it all the
  time. they poured their energies into it. It was always on their
  mind.  Serving in an adult ministry now, I'm surprised at how hard
  it is to identify people's passions. People have either learned to
  suppress it, forget it, or sometimes seem to have lost it altogether.
  Somehow this hunger has been lulled to sleep by the passing years of
  life.

  Passions are by their very nature consuming. They draw and demand
  our energies and our attention. When people look at your words, your
  decisions, your attitudes, your life and your xanga, is it obvious to
  others what your life passion is? Jesus said, "No one can serve two
  masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be
  devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and
  Money." (matt 6:24)

  "There is time in life for only one true passion ...what's yours?"
