Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

Bro Robbins,
I have a question for you - You said you are a pastor. Are you the kind of pastor who would serve your church even if it meant you had to work a full time job outside of the church in order to provide for your family?

And I think I understood from someone on here that you have a son? Is that right? And you are not passionate about him??? Wow, would just leave me stunned. I don't know how anyone can be a parent and not be passionate about their children. Am I the only one who feels that way?

And I have to tell you - I would not have said I was "passionate" about my husband until the day came that I very nearly lost him to death. Since then, I have found out just exactly how passionate I do feel about him.

I am passionate about spiritual maturity for myself and the folks to whom I minister.

Ok duh! That's why I didn't get the joke. :)

Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

Sorry, but you misread some things... and if I gave any wrong impression, I apologize.

I have pastored, meaning Associate, Music Pastor, Staff Pastor and Executive Pastor, but have never been a Senior Pastor. I"m not qualified to pastor as I'm a single man and don't meet the Scriptural requirements. I do not currently pastor in any capacity and haven't for some time, so not sure where you got that.

I am a minister, and yes I work a full time secular job as well as ministerial duties. In most of my ministerial duties, I have been bi-vocational.

I do not have a son, never married, and no children. Have lived alone for 17 years.

I never said that I wasn't passionate in how I approach some things in my life... I would say that I am.

The question of the thread wasn't, is there anything you do passionately... It's What IS YOUR PASSION.

You can do things passionately, but not have any passions in your life. And that's me. There are things I will do with all my soul, mind and strength... as unto the Lord, but they certainly are not Passions in my life.

Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

I am SO confused about what "passion" means to you. :blink How do YOU define it? I don't care about what your friend said....

Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

Bro. Robbins, I would like to give a slightly better definition of passion than the one that your friend gave.

A passion is an intense interest in a person, place, or thing.

I would say that you are a man with many passions, but that they do not govern every waking moment. First would be a passion for God and His service. Second would be living a holy life. Third would be spreading the message through the preaching of His Word. Fourth would be reading (your comment about books made that obvious). Fifth would be a passion for people, their emotions, and interests.

I would say that it all depends on how a person defines their passions.

Re: What Is Your Passion?
 

If I did not have any passions in life, why would I be interested in knowing what other people are passionate about?
