       If we have passion for sin, whatever that sin is, that’s not going to work. But I think more likely for us is the fact that we have passion for things we think are good, which actually in and of themselves are good, but our passions are too strong for those things. We want whatever it is too much, and because of this it causes us to quarrel and fight with our fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus. We have the passion for all kinds of things. We can have passion to be in a certain group at church, like the elders or the deacons, we can have passion to be on a certain committee or in a specific ministry, we can want to be recognized by certain people, we can desire a certain amount of money be assigned to our task, or for a certain person to like us in return, or to be the friend of a certain leader—you get the point. There are passions and desires among Christians, and these, when not fulfilled in us, can cause us to fight and quarrel. That of course only works for discord in its mildest form, or in more severe cases can cause us to do angry and stupid things which hurts ourselves and hurts others.
