MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE >>>BE CAREFUL OF UNRIGHTEOUS ZEAL

First let me give the definition of-zeal ( noun) \ˈzēl\: a strong feeling of interest and enthusiasm that makes someone very eager or determined to do something. Have you ever wonder makes people so zealous to do wrong and yet so unenthusiastic about supporting something righteous. Also likely hood that even among Christians knowing that what they are doing wrong, they will often encourage you to go down the same destructive path with them. But I'd still rather have a hard truth told to me given with love then and easy lie spoken to me by deceitful lips that really doesn't care about me all but themselves, selfish so they lie but the lie won't be so easy to bare once the truth comes out one day. Because the truth still matters, but many don't wan't the truth in the world today...so those strong enough to tell the truth are shunned many times even in the church so that the church can continue to operate in deception and living life like its a masquerade, everybody seemingly got a mask. But usually people who have so much to hide when they finally take mask off and you discover the real them what you find isn't pretty. Be careful of persistent people who are without righteous character their zeal for/about you can hazardous to your overall (spirit, soul, body) health.
Galatians 4:12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong. 13 .As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you,
14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself. 15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.
18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you. 19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, 20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
