After being on this earth for sixty-seven years and having observed a growing trend of spiritual lethargy over the past fifty years, I have come away fully believing that Christianity must becomeour passion not simply a passing fancy or hobby that is reserved for only two days a week.<\/p>\n

The prophet Jeremiah fully believed that our walk with the Lord must be surrounded by passion when he emphatically stated in Jeremiah 20:7-9:<\/p>\n

\n

O Lord, You induced me, and I was persuaded; You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I am in derision daily; Everyone mocks me. For when I spoke, I cried out; I shouted Violence and plunder! Because the word of the Lord was made to me A reproach and a derision daily. Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name. But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back And I could not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Even though Jeremiah was constantly under fire for proclaiming Gods word (Jeremiah 20:7-8,10), he fully understood what the outcome would be (Jeremiah 20:11-13), and thus kept on preaching and teaching Gods word, no matter what the circumstance (cf. Acts 4:1-20; Acts 5:17-29).<\/p>\n

Brethren, when we have the passion of Jeremiah; the passion of the apostles, and the passion displayed by those martyrs listed in Hebrews 11:32-40, we wont have to be prodded to assemble with the saints.<\/p>\n

We wont have to be prodded to go teach the Word to a lost and dying world (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16). We wont have to be prodded to give to those in need (2 Corinthians 8). We wont have to be prodded to send out and support missionary efforts (cf. Acts 16:7-10).<\/p>\n

When we become passionate about our Christianity, the Lords work will become the most important thing in our lives<\/strong> (Matthew 6:33; cf. Matthew 6:21; Luke 2:49) all other worldly things that we once deemed important, will suddenly disappear into insignificance (cf. Philippians 3:4-10).<\/p>\n

And we will long to be in the presence of our Lord and Savior (Philippians 1:22-23; cf. 2 Corinthians 5:1-8).<\/p>\n
