We had a sermon recently that ended with the pastor asking "What are you passionate about?" Actually, it was worded more like "What makes you angry?" but the gist was a righteous anger that should result in action. (God made us to feel things). I wondered if our pastor had come around with the microphone … Continue reading What are you Passionate About?
I’ve often wondered…
