What Passion

REFRESHING THE HEART


Todays Scripture:

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. (Eccles.9:10)(MKJB)
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.(Col. 3:23)(MKJB)

From The Herald:

Some say that we are missing the passion and sense of mission mandated in the New Testament. I was reading an article in which a church was having to struggle against attacks from a financial institution.
In my humble opinion the problem is indicative of the church having a passion, not, for the pure propagation of the gospel of Christ, but for self aggrandizement. That being represented in the building boom for awe inspiring effect, which seems to have become our mission.
For the church to become effective in this day and time we must actually be of like Passion or like affected as those New Testament saints. Our pathology being external, similar to those saints in that we are being persecuted for the propagation of the gospel, not internal, for pridefully trying to impress the world outside of the will of God.
To heartily toil without fear or favor because we know that Jesus Christ is the answer for what ever ails this world, is what we must aspire to, being above reproach and blameless.
Friends the church was not founded to give us worldly status but so that we may have fellowship with God and Fellow believers as we go into all the world preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Be not entangled.
