Our problem is not with our profession, but with our passion.
Our problem is not with our procedures, but with our passion.
Our problem is not with our policy, but with our passion.
Our problem is not with our purpose, but with our passion.
Our problem is not with our programs , but with our passion.
When it is all said and done: If we lose our passion, we lose our movement."

Return to the first and great commandment.
You shall
LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
Put the
FIRST COMMANDMENT back in first place in the teaching and preaching and
PASSION will follow.
If there is a better way to stir passion someone let me know.
