What are we passionate about? Will we allow our faith turn our world upside down?

How strong is our conviction when it comes to our faith? Paul was a man whose passion was notorious. At the same time, his conversion was powerful. Paul’s entire life focus changed. The depth of his passion didn’t waver. He was so sure that what he now knew was truth that he didn’t feel needed confirmation or validation from the other apostles. His encounter with God was overwhelming and all-consuming.

Mary and Martha were both just as passionate about Jesus. They had different ways of expressing it. Jesus invited them both to be passionate—to be in his presence and to learn from him. What are we passionate about? Will we allow our faith turn our world upside down?
