Yet, their backyard, the place of quiet intimacy with God was forsaken. B. 20 th Century Christians can lose their Passion too. You can lose something by accident. They chose to serve Jesus rather than love Him. Man chooses to provide for his family rather than spend time with them.
Provision is a poor trade for love.
Passion for God always comes from time spent alone with God. Going to church is great, but it won't give you passion. Serving is great, but it won't give you passion. Passion comes from communing with God and hearing His voice. God is more interested in your personal walk with him than your ministry.
