 In Scripture we read of two kinds of men--the spiritual man controlled by the Holy Spirit, and the "carnal" man who is ruled by his passions. Author: David Jeremiah |
| The secret of the Christian's passion is simple: Everything we do in life we do it as to the Lord and not to men. Author: David Jeremiah |
| Let the current of your being set towards God, then your life will be filled and calmed by one master-passion which unites and stills the soul. Author: Alexander MacLaren |
| A passion for God isn't necessarily the same as abiding in God; it must be coupled with obedience to be true love for God. Author: Ed Cole |
| All other passions build upon or flow from your passion for Jesus. A passion for souls grows out of a passion for Christ. A passion for missions builds upon a passion for Christ. The most crucial danger to a Christian, whatever his role, is to lack a passion of Christ. The most direct route to personal renewal and new effectiveness is a new all-consuming passion for Jesus. Lord, give us this passion, whatever the cost! Author: Wesley L. Duewel |
| Prayer involves transformed passions. In prayer, real prayer, we begin to think God's thoughts after Him: to desire the things He desires, to love the things He loves, to will the things He wills. Author: Richard J. Foster |

| For the soul of a person to be inflamed with passion for the living God, that person's mind must first be informed about the character and will of God. There can be nothing in the heart that is not first in the mind. Though it is possible to have theology on the head without its piercing the soul, it cannot pierce the soul without first being grasped by the mind. Author: R.C. Sproul
