The Passion-Driven Heart Of Jesus And His Call For Passionate Living And Dying
What Is Passion? Passion (from the Ancient Greek verb πάσχω (paskho) meaning to suffer) is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something. - Wikipedia “What You Feel Passionate About Is What You Are Ready To Suffer For” – Joseph Su As you know, Shalom Academy of Davao AND Community for Christ is a church-school. This compound functions as a school and a church. In running a school, there are many aspects of it that we don’t notice which actually speak about passion.

Cute Interview Answer
I was reviewing the books of my students as I was preparing their 2nd quarter examination. I stopped at a page where it says “your classmates’ wishlists”. The owner of the book apparently interviewed her classmates and everything went fine until the 3rd person’s answer: Name of Classmate: SECRET Age: 9 Wish: I want to buy a new house. Wishing big, don’t you think?
Depraved Indifference
I just stumbled across that phrase in the law and was quite perplexed about it. Depraved indifference simply means that you see someone who is in a state of trouble or in the verge of losing his life and you have the capacity to save him but you simply did not due to many different reasons or to no reason at all.

A Place You Can Call Home
If you were given a chance to describe what is a home for you, your answer may vary with the person beside you. A person may describe it as a physical establishment while another may look at it as a haven. Despite the varying descriptions, we can all agree on the fact that a home is a personal place that one wants to be in. This description is actually being used also in the early church, mainly, in the first few chapters of Acts. In this sermon, let us the description found in Acts 2 as our guide because the early church setting is a model to the Christian churches.
