Who or What Is Our Passion

I was thumbing through a book today trying to decide if I was going to purchase a couple of copies to use for Christmas gifts. I ran across one of my many underlined phrases and decided it was to be blogged.

Jesus isn't coming for a church that's gritting her teeth, struggling to stay free from sin, secretly wishing she could indulge in a little immorality but abstaining because of being afraid of getting caught. No, Jesus is coming for a church passionately and utterly devoted to Him-one that is free on the inside. The greatest motivation for obedience to the Lord is a growing revelation of who Jesus is-His passions and pleasures and the matchless splendor in His personality.
