"Hear, O
Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD
is one! "You shall love the LORD
your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with
all your strength. And these words which I command you today
shall be in your heart.” Deut. 6:4-6
pas·sion

–noun
1. any

2.

or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything
Who gets
your passion? Where does it go? What are you most
passionate about? To be a God-follower, our life, our very
existence has to be about knowing and connecting with God
through Jesus Christ. A love for God is demonstrated
through obedience. Religious ritual never replaces
obedience. We must hear and obey God’s word. James 1:22
Our
Five-Star Focus begins with our love for God because
everything is an outpouring of His love when it invades our
hearts. As we study and digest His word, we gain a greater
understanding of His love for His creation and His
redemptive plan. |
