I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Be Zealous Wisely

Be zealous for God but at the same time, you have to understand that being zealous without sensitivity can cause an unbeliever not to turn to God. There are Christians who are zealous for the Lord and forget the sensitivity of humanity. Yes, there are sinners out there but understand, we ALL are sinners. We need to understand that there are sinners out there who are WITHOUT Christ. They are lost and we need to be sensitive to their searches for answers. They are looking for spiritual hope and salvation. They may be looking for healing for their physical or emotional health but in God's eyes, they really need to be healed for their spiritual health. I will never tell anyone that God will heal them physically anytime soon because I don't know the answer to that. But I do know this, God will heal them spiritually through Christ's Blood and Resurrection. Trust God to use us they way He intended to use us. If He wants to heal us, He will. If He does not want to heal us because He wants to use us for His ministry, we will let Him. When we accepted Christ as our Savior, Christ became our LORD and we give ourselves to HIM (see Romans 12:1-8).
