7 Passion Killers

Pastor Mike Chapman of City Church in Chattanooga preaches a sermon entitled, “Making a Difference with Your Life Will Take Passion”. He identifies 7 passion killers:

1. An unclear purpose: life seems futile without a purpose –
why get out of bed?
2. An unemployed talent: God has given you gifts and talents
and if they are not being utilized, your passion quotient
will go down.
3. An unbalanced schedule: overwork or underwork will cause a
decline in passion.
4. An unconfessed sin: you can’t have enthusiasm and guilt at
the same time.
5. An unresolved conflict: resentment, jealousy and prolonged
anger are passion-killing emotions.
6. An unsupported lifestyle: loneliness kills passion.
7. An undernourished spirit: at it’s root, passion is a
spiritual issue and if our spirit is ignored, our heart will
shrink and grow cold.

Passion drives your quest for destiny. Passion is the fuel of your life. Passion can be diluted or even completely drained from your life and if that happens, you will never discover your destiny! Resolve today to remove the barriers and pursue your passion.
