Enthusiasm (Hix)

Colossians 3:23-And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,

If I could only have one word to describe Lee Crawford it would have to be….Enthusiastic!!

She had enthusiasm for God, for her church, her family, her friends!!

Someone has said, “Enthusiasm is contagious.”

If that statement is true, and I believe it is, then if you were around Lee for more than 5 minutes, you would have caught a bad case of enthusiasm!!

“Enthusiastic people turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.”

There is a lesson to be learned from Lee, for a Christian we should enthusiastic, about going to church, about reading our bible, about praying, about telling others about Christ!!

But the problem is we are not excited about church, or bible study, or praying, or witnessing, but you let a new restaurant open up, and we are telling everybody, we get excited about that!!

See us at a sporting event and see how excited we can get!!

Ralph Waldo Emerson said: 'Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.'

All round us people have enthusiasm, walk into a car dealership, and see how enthusiastic the salesman are?

“Well, yeah, because they are on commission!”

We are on commission too! We have been commissioned to take the Good News to the world, and we should be enthusiastic about it!!

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." --Sir Winston Churchill

Vance Havner said, “Don’t ever come to church without coming as though it were the first time, as though it could be the best time, and as though it might be the last time.”
