listen,
GOD made you to live a passionate life.
GOD wants you to live with vitality.
with vibrancy. with energy. with enthusiasm. with passion. HE wants you to have this in your life.
in john
10.10 (new international reader’s version),
JESUS said, I have come in order that you can have life – life in all
its fullness.
so why
don’t most people enjoy life? why don’t
most people live a life of passion?
well,
we are going to look here on bill’s front porch at some spiritual passion
killers that we face and the first one is
an unexamined life.
socrates
said “an unexamined life is not worth living.”
before socrates said that the bible said in lamentations 3.40 (Gwt), let us look closely at our ways and examine
them and then return to the LORD.
now
it’s a good practice regularly in your life to pull aside, to be still long
enough to ask yourself the questions, how am i doing? where am i going? is my life on track of where i think GOD
wants me to go?
many of
you like to watch nascar. we are getting
close to the daytona 500. now if you go
to Daytona or watch it on tv you will see them out racing close to 180 miles an
hour, going full out but every once in a awhile they will pull in for a pit
stop. they will check the tires, fill
the tank up with gas and then send them out again.
you
need the same thing. you need a time in
your life when you pull back from the pace and the speed of life to just let GOD
speak to you and be open to what GOD wants to say to you. i think the beginning of a new year is a good
time to do that.
one of
the things that is going to happen is, GOD’s going to replenish your soul.
just a
thought from the front porch…
