What Triggers Your Passion?

That was the question a French-Canadian woman shared at the international church we attend in Shanghai. She spoke with such conviction and purpose that it was startling. We were surrounded by people from over 60 nations, all focused on this person who said, "I'm not an official minister, but I am a practitioner of my faith. I wear my faith on my sleeve."

She challenged us to find our place of service for Christ. She said that she knew we were all busy, but that Christ calls us to serve. "Let your faith define your calender!" she exhorted.

She concluded by saying that she and her husband had recently attended a retreat where someone shared that there is a new name for God - "Jehovah Nike" which means, "GO - do it!" We all laughed, but she had made her point.

What triggers your passion for God?
