* *Renewal* = bring back to the original state
* *Since God never changes*, that means we have to come back to God’s promises in our lives.
* Which leaves me with the question *“why do they need renewing*”?
I’m warning you, I may make you sad before I make you happy...because we need to repent, turn around, return to something…look at…2 Cor.
7:8-11
*2 Corinthians 7:8 *Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it.
Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while— *9 *yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because *your sorrow led you to repentance*.
For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.
*10 **Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death*.
*11 *See what this godly sorrow has *produced in you*: what *earnestness*, what *eagerness* to clear yourselves, what *indignation,* what *alarm*, what *longing*, what *concern*, what *readiness* to see justice done.
At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
NIV
* All these words say to me *“Passion”*
*A fast fire generation - The Microwave Oven*
Microwave ovens are now very popular.
It was invented by Percy L. Spencer in 1945 when he discovered that he could cook with radio waves.
The principle was: When microwaves enter food, they cause the liquid or moisture molecules to vibrate 2450 million times a second.
The resulting friction causes the food to heat up.
The first microwave oven weighed ca.
300kg and stood five feet, six inches.
* *
Shook up from the inside till it gets hot.
(My goal today)
* *
*Romans 12:11* *Never* be lacking in zeal, but *keep* your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

* *Don’t be without it, ever!*
*Zeal*
Eagerness and (fiery) interest in and pursuit of something
* *Keep** **your spiritual fervor **/for spiritual things/*
* *Something is trying to take it away, don’t let it happen!*
*Fervor*
1 : intensity of feeling or expression
2 : intense heat
* *serving the Lord*
* *So we don’t lose the ultimate focus for the fire.*
* Phil 3:6 Paul said he was zealous at persecuting the Church.
*/ /*
*synonymy* passion, fervor, enthusiasm, zeal means intense emotion compelling action.
*All of us need passion in life*.
Without it, we become apathetic and unproductive.
We were made to dream big.
* That's probably why we get so excited about the sports events and heroes.
* I'm amazed that I am interested whether a person I do not know wins a medal or not.
* It affects me when someone who has trained long and hard has a bad run and misses his or her chance.
* I'm excited when another person achieves his or her long-awaited goal.
* Why does it matter?
*I think we all are thrilled at seeing their passion*.
The apostle Paul understood this underlying need for passion,
It's easy to feel the passion momentarily; it's another thing to make it a way of life.
Most of us come to Christ passionately, but have trouble sustaining it.
* How many of us have started something, like piano lessons, or a sport, or something else with the dream of being the best.
On stage, the super bowl, the Olympics, world cup Soccer or Hockey, concert pianist, etc…?
* The Danger is letting others live passionately for us.
We would rather watch someone else burn than build our own fire.
* This is the reason for the boom on reality shows.
People living and us watching!*
*Is there anyone that wants to be more passionate about Life and the things of God?*
How do we get more fire in our lives?
