I watched a DVD by Bill Hybels yesterday. I
cried…way to go Bill. If was from his lecture from The Summit this year titled, “The Courage
Leadership Requires.” He reminded me of his definition of vision, “Vision is a
picture of the future that produces passion.” page 33 from his book, “Courageous
Leadership.”
People, especially those who do not get paid for doing ministries,
do them ultimately because they want to.
I have met many lay people who are
passionately involved in various ministries both inside and outside of their
church. Some know their spiritual gift, but most don’t. Many of them have never studied their
Strengths, DISC or personality profile.
Some are involved in ministries that don’t make a lot of sense in light
of their life experience, occupation, or natural abilities, while others have
their ministry calling in the same area as their profession. In fact they only seem to have one thing in common; they are
all motivated by passion.
It is that
place you experience your created greatness. What is your passion?

Passion is the FIRE that fuels your spirit to launch out into the unknown simply because that is where God is leading you to go. Eleven years ago my passion to share the Good News of the Gospel through the comparison and discussion of the roles, characters, and plots of movies propelled me into unknown territory. No one had ever done this before so I had no pattern to follow except guidance from the Holy Spirit, and the high bar of 'serving with excellence' at MBC to urge me on. What a journey it has been, and still going! Follow your passion!
