Do we shine forth as lights in the world or do we blend into the world so well, no one can see our light? Is our zeal and enthusiasm for Christ apparent or are we motivated by legalism or self? Is our zeal for Christ as strong as our zeal for our golf game? Do we give people the impression al our religious activity is a matter of duty or a matter of pure joy? Do we have life in us? Do we genuinely have a burden for souls? Do we mourn and pray over the state of the world? Do we satisfy and justify ourselves by “attending church” and keeping things going? Are we as earnest as Christ’s enemies? Is our faith in the gospel message equal to or greater than the faith in the message of those who oppose Christianity?

Zeal For Christ or For Something Else?
Do we shine forth as lights in the world or do we blend into the world so well, no one can see our light? Is our zeal and enthusiasm for Christ apparent or are we motivated by legalism or self? Is our zeal for Christ as strong as our zeal for our golf game? Do we give people the impression al our religious activity is a matter of duty or a matter of pure joy? Do we have life in us? Do we genuinely have a burden for souls? Do we mourn and pray over the state of the world? Do we satisfy and justify ourselves by “attending church” and keeping things going? Are we as earnest as Christ’s enemies? Is our faith in the gospel message equal to or greater than the faith in the message of those who oppose Christianity?
