Read Galatians 2:20
By Kevin and Cori Barclift

What are you passionate about? That’s a question we all ought to ponder. In order to really answer that question, we must ask ourselves a couple other questions. What do we think about when we awake in the morning, and what does our mind drift to when we are relaxing or have some down time. If we ask ourselves these two questions and answer them truthfully, we will often times find what we are passionate about. This can be quite revealing to ourselves, if we are honest. What did you come up with? Baseball? Football? Electronics? Music? Movies? TV shows? It’s not bad to enjoy any of these things individually. However, when we become passionate to a point that it fills out minds and hearts with these things, that’s when it becomes dangerous. The reason I use the word “dangerous” is because it can easily become an idol at that point. So, we have to be careful not to allow anything to be placed higher than Jesus Christ.

In Galatians 2:20 Paul says he is “crucified with Christ, it is no longer him who lives, but Christ who lives within him”. If we live with that mentality, then our life will be a life filled with the right things. Fill your life with Christ

Appling Truth as an Individual
What are the things that your thoughts are filled with when you awake in the morning? And when you have free time?
What can you do to keep your thoughts on those of Jesus Christ?

Applying the Truth as a Church
What do you believe our church’s passions are?
How can you help to direct our church to be completely passionate for Jesus Christ?
