Passion for GOD
Its one of the banners we fly at Grace and its all about knowing and experiencing GOD deeply. There is no better way this Christmas season to fire up this passion in your life than to soak in this “He Will Be Called” series and pursue the daily readings and to talk it over with a small group of trusted friends.
I have been deeply changed from that few moments two weeks ago when Craig was in the doctors office and talked of my need to acknowledge I am sick.
Wow.
As someone has blogged, we are being “stretched in a grand way”. May your tribe increase!
What “wild horses” could keep you from being there this Sunday and bringing someone who needs to find Jesus thsi Christmas?

I think that word, passion, is most appropriate. Outside of a theological context most would describe passion as a strong (though sometimes violent) emotion. I’ve seen Jesus described as ‘the lover of our souls,’ but when people think about Jesus, they may not always envision such a passionate figure.
I say we take this notion of passion and explore it. Explore God’s love for us, and understand this passion as the reason he sent Love himself, in the flesh, to dwell among us. Maybe as we sort through all the consumerism and materialism that so often invades Christmas, we can recognize and remind ourselves that Jesus is the answer to universal longings, the answer to the question of our own passions.

Right on K. This flood of stuff in December has so little to do with core realities…and it sucks the life out of us. Personally this year, I want to celebrate and give and love and live out truth. And all of it with great passion.
