After our Walk for Life yesterday morning, I made it home in time to hear the announcement that Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as Supreme Court Justice. I thought about the passion that had been displayed during this process by the opposing sides, the media, the senators, the activists that pounded their way into the chambers; incredibly emotional and convinced people on both sides. Then I saw emotions rise even higher as angry protesters passionately chanted on the steps of the supreme court. One thing\u2019s for sure: They ARE passionate. I\u2019ll be honest with you \u2013 I sensed my passion needed a pick-me-up in comparison to those highly passionate men and women I saw standing up for what they believe in \u2013 right or wrong.<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning, some of our EMwomen joined other passionate people in the Walk\/Hike for Life in McKinney, TX. There were booths set up with passionate representatives from homes for pregnant, homeless women that provide hope and help to them. Centers were represented for women who need healing after choosing abortion and for helping women to choose life. There are many people who are passionate about \u201cchoosing life\u201d and who devote themselves to many volunteer hours to help make a difference. What is it that drives these people to give of their time to causes like this? What drove our little band of women and one strong man to raise funds and to show up to walk for life? It was the passion to make a difference. <\/p>\n

It’s time we all become passionate people — to be those who put our lives on the line for a cause that radically changes the face of our country. Nothing great is ever accomplished in life without passion. Nothing great is ever sustained in life without passion. Passion is what energizes revolutions and mobilizes armies into action. Passion is what causes explorers to boldly go where no man’s gone before. Passion is what causes scientists to spend late night hours trying to find the cure to a dreaded disease. Passion makes the impossible possible. Passion gives us a reason to get up in the morning and say, “I\u2019m going to do something with my life today.” Who wants a boring, monotonous, routine life? God created us with the emotions to have passion in our lives and He wants us to live a passionate life. <\/p>\n

Today, I ask, \u201cWhat are you passionate about?\u201d Are you passionate enough to give your all to a cause that could change the world? That kind of passion changed the U.S. when the Roe vs Wade decision was made 45 years ago. Since 1973, as of 5 am today, there have been 60,780,461 abortions; murders of precious babies (the ticker went up one by one as I watched online). What kind of passion drove prayer out of our schools and the 10 commandments from public spaces? What kind of passion was changed the definition of marriage between a man and a woman? My fellow believers in God\u2019s Word, IT IS TIME to wake up and be heard with our passion for life, for morality, for righteousness and the truth of God\u2019s Word. We must not be silent and nonchalant any longer. It’s time we stir up our passion and register to vote in the November 6th election.<\/p>\n

The passion of Jesus led to the redemption of man. We can model His passion. The Bible tells us that we\u2019re to seek God passionately. We\u2019re to love God passionately. The Bible says that we\u2019re to serve and obey God passionately. We\u2019re to trust God passionately. Then as if we didn\u2019t get the message, in Colossians 3:23 He says “Whatever you do, do it with all of your heart as unto the Lord and not unto men.” He says I want you to do everything passionately when it comes to loving Me, serving Me, living for Me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
