A Balanced Biblical Passion Religious Passion Fundamentalist Passions A Balanced Biblical Passion Liberalistic Passions

Paul’s Passionate Journey The Beginning: “But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.” The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (Ac 8:3). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society. The Ending: “Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (2 Ti 4:8). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society.

Steps to Transform Your Passion Understand Your Passion Direct Your Passion Live Your Passion

Understand Your Passion Paul knew he needed a change of passion. Philippians 3:3-14 Paul had reason to boast in his life. Paul left all and counted it as rubbish.

Direct Your Passion Paul directed his passion to the truth: And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God." And all who heard him were amazed and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?" But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ. (Acts 9:20-22)

Live in Your Passion “For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21) Realize you are Christ’s. (Philippians 3:12) Forget the things that are behind. (Philippians 3:13) Press toward the prize. (Philippians 3:14)

Results of Passionate People For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.
