Passion

I haven't posted in the past few days. Two reasons I guess...first is I posted everyday during the 21 day fast so I took a little break and secondly I am on Facebook now and have been spending my posting time there learning the ropes. Look for me on Facebook.

This morning's devotional kind of hit me between the eyes and in the heart and I wanted to share it with you. I read Acts chapter 4 about the wild adventure of Peter and John as they stood up for Christ. Then I read from "The Ransomed Heart" (thanks Dino for the recomendation). Check this out from this devotional.

The Christian life is a love affair of the heart. It cannot be lived primarily as a set of principles or ethics. It cannot be managed with steps and programs. It cannot be lived as a moral code leading to righteousness. The Gospel is intended to free us to love God and others with our whole heart. When we ignore this heart aspect of our faith and try to live out our religion solely as correct doctrine or ethics, our passion is crippled, or perverted, and the divorce of our soul from the heart purposes of God towards us is deepened.
