Passionate About Christ!

-

Hi everyone this is the first post onto this blog and it's all about our Passion For Christ. 

"Passion" to some may mean romantiscm and connected with love and even puppy love for that matter.

But you see it's actually more than that. For you see the word 'Passion' comes from the Latin word 'Passio' meaning 'Suffering'. Simply put, to be passionate about anything or for something for that matter means simply that we have a suffering for it (like an addiction and the only eternal fix is Christ Himself!). 

So you see friends this is exactly what we're all about. We're passionate about Jesus and his work and his people(the church). We have a Suffering, a holy want, a Godly desire for more of Christ to be made manifest through us to a world that desperately needs him. In the movie Superman Returns, Superman speaks with Lois Lane on top of the Daily Planet Building (bear in mind that superman wasn't around for 5 years, hence the name Superman Returns).Lois says to Superman, "The world doesn't need a saviour".
"But everyday I hear people crying out for one", Superman responds.
How true are those words. People say they don't need a saviour but in fact even the atheist in his heart of hearts cries out for one. For a saviour to deliver us from our sin saturated circumstances that we find ourselves in daily. 

This blog serves the purpose to teach and encourage all passionate believers to be relentless in their pursuit of God.

This blog will post articles from different authors including myself once a week every Friday unless otherwise stated.

See you soon, 
 Much Blessings,  

Shane...

For It Has Been Granted To You...(Part Two)

"For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake" [Phil 1:29] Part 2 We saw from part 1 of this series that many people have not only designated themselves editors of God’s word but that this editing ill-prepares them and the churches they lead for hard times. But how can one escape the teaching about suffering from Genesis through to Revelation? Which of God’s servants has not been through difficult times? Which of them has not endured hardship like a good solider of Jesus? The greatest of them went through thick and thin, and though they may have failed at some stage in life, their hearts were fully given to the Lord nonetheless.  People love the success of Abraham, Joshua, Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, the apostles; John, Peter, and Paul to name a few of God’s servants but they do not want to look at what they went through for them to be victorious. How I wish everyone had a copy

Book Review: Beyond Blessed - Courtesy Of Struik Christian Media

A brave book indeed! My initial thought when I picked this book up was that it was going to be just like every other 'Christian' book out there on finances.  But to my surprise, that whilst the central theme is finance, the author talks more about other aspects surrounding finance which leads up to good financial habits. He addresses the issues on carrying too much debt and even budgeting.  It's a great all rounder, that covers all basic necessities of the financial arena from a thorough Biblical perspective. There is a companion book that was written before this one called ' The Blessed Life.' I managed to get a copy of it at a book sale, but haven't had the opportunity of reading it yet. But will get around to it soon, hopefully.  I would suggest getting a copy of this book. In fact every family should have a copy of it. There are other brilliant books out there but this one is on my top ten list when it comes down bettering our finances from a pur
