"We live in a politically correct culture where it is considered inappropriate to be passionate about faith. Sports, okay. Faith, no. So Christians live their lives on the defensive, even passively. But God is not passive, and He does not want us to be. We are to live our lives with passion!"
...
"Passion is a way to live life -- living with a burning desire in our hearts to do what God called us to do as part of His world-changing plans. Passion is the motivation that keeps us pushing ahead in spite of setbacks and discouragement. Passion is a human characteristic, not just a Christian one. There are lots of people without much to say spiritually who live passionate lives."
...
"I say passion is a human characteristics because passion comes from God. God hates apathy and indifference. Christ told the church at Laodicea, "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So, then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth" (Revelation 3: 15-16)."
