Last night we look at the 2nd half of Philippians 1. Andrew spoke about Paul’s obsession with Jesus. I’ve been thinking about obsessions. I don’t want to live a balanced life. I want to live a Philippians 1:21 life.
Soccer used to be my obsession. It’s not any more. What’s your obsession? Do you get more passionate about mac vs pc; holden vs ford; nescafe vs gourmet coffee; league vs union; Labour vs Liberal or about JESUS!
Get passionate about JESUS. Talk about Jesus. It’s all about Jesus. He died. He rose. He’s coming back. Don’t waste your life.
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Good post Dave.
I’ve tried hard to cut back on talking about coffee. I still love it, and get great enjoyment out of it, but I don’t want people to hear me talking about it more than Jesus. I made a rule for myself about posting coffee stuff on our blog too often – because we wanted our blog to point to Jesus and not to my hobbies.
thanks for sharing sam. that sounds good.
quick note: this post wasn’t a dig at coffee friends! more me reflecting on my passion and desire to be obsessed with Jesus.
Glad it wasn’t a dig at coffee friends (or coffee family!). I thought it might have been after all your jibes yesterday at me about my coffee snobbery!
Having said all that, very good reminder of where our obsession should be. Something I need to hear.
glad you cleared that up… :)
