“REAL ZEAL”
I have really enjoyed reading the New Frontiers Magazine(April - June 2009) on Real Zeal. The articles by Terry Virgo, P.J Smyth, and John Groves etc were very inspirational.
Some quotes from them their articles:
1) “He wanted them Hot! He even preferred cold to lukewarm. Somehow cold was more acceptable. Lukewarm masquerading as hot was revolting.” Terry Virgo2) “Zeal has to be properly directed. Without a proper goal it is mere heat.” Terry Virgo3) “Spending time alone with Jesus results in a myriad of good things, including an impartation of his zeal.” P.J Smyth4) “Relentless zeal is produced through tough times.” P.J Smyth5) “Zeal? None. Then I got saved. God’s pure mercy. Enter the Consuming Fire – hard to stay the same with Him inside – all change. Not instantly, bit by bit with intoxicating moments, eyes wide at the unsearchable riches of Christ (Eph. 3:8). Shocking – I couldn’t (and didn’t want to) switch it off. Stef Liston
6) “Zeal is God inside the person.” Stef Liston7) “Zeal without knowledge is not merely useless it is positively dangerous.” John Groves
8) “Human zeal alone does not achieve the purposes of God. God can often appear slow to us but He is in charge and it is His timetable we work to.” John Groves9) “Someone who is passionate, loving and on fire for Jesus cannot help but ignite those around them.” John Groves10) “Do not lose your zeal but harness it to a total commitment to obey God’s word and ensure it does not drive you outside the parameters of Biblical revelation.” John Groves
