Message - Re: Zeal Posted By Larry Colbert on 2/8/2011 10:02:00 AM - Subscribe to this discussion here - Subscribe

Zeal--eager and ardent intrest in the pursuit of something in our case "christians" it''s always God''s will. [For me] l have found that sometimes my zeal for God''s will was not matched with my knowledge for God''s will and God''s wisdom in "specific instances" and as a result; my efforts did not bring about the results God wanted in that "specific" instance. It is possible to be technically [doctrinally] correct about something and still miss God''s will in the matter. [For me], it''s not a question of what is zeal; but more to the point "when and how to apply zeal". Though we are NEVER to compromise the WORD of GOD; we are called to give to others what called has given to us. Zeal [sometimes] gets in the way of the work.
