What is your Passion?

Checking in with friends on Facebook and Twitter yesterday, I noticed something; My friends have many passions.

One friend posted how proud she was of Phillip Phillips.. I looked him up, I thought he was a member of the family. Evidently he is a contestant on a reality show.


Another friend tweets and posts almost daily about her favorite musician, a previous reality show contestant. She requests people pledge money for his next album and attends every gig she can. 

 And lets not even talk about all the posts and tweets and excitement that sports fans exhibit! Have you ever seen a football fan sitting in freezing cold weather covered in paint?? Now that is passion! 

What is your passion? How does your passion for Jesus, your Savior, the one who died for you, how does your passion for Christ compare to your passion for football, reality show stars or whatever you prioritize?

Exodus 20:3 "you shall have no other gods before me" .  

What if we spent as much time speaking to Him, talking about him, Posting about Him or tweeting about Him. What if we read His word and talked to Jesus as much as we watched our passions on TV?

We want people to like our passions, but so we tell anyone else about the One who should be our main passion? 

Imagine what the impact there would be on the lives around you if you spent as much time and energy on Jesus as you do on football or celebrities or parties or... whatever it is you prioritize. 

What is you talked about what Jesus has done in your live, Tweeted about Jesus, posted statuses about Jesus, sang praises to him, what if? Can you see what  a difference you could make in others lives as well as in your own?

He died for you. No man comes to God except through Jesus Christ. John 14:6

Or could it be you don't truly know Jesus? 

Are you wondering how to come to Jesus?

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God

Ok, simple enough, you know you are a sinner and you know that because of that you can't get to heaven.. right? 

Romans 6:23"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." The punishment that we have earned for our sins is death. Not just physical death, but eternal death!

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9).

ok, so you know there is nothing you yourself can do to get into heaven.. doing good works or being a good person, will not do the trick. 

Romans 5:8 "but God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus Christ died for us! Jesus' death paid for the price of our sins and gae us the gift of salvation


Romans 10:9 "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting His death as the payment for our sins - and we will be saved!


Romans 10:13" for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved"

Now tell me that isn't the easiest most awesome thing in the world!


Do you see? All you have to do is acknowledge you are a sinner. Then ask Jesus .. confess with your mouth that that Jesus is your Lord and you believe He died to pay the price for your sins.


Have you accepted Christ? I would love to hear about it!
