"Now Saul was consenting to his (Stephen's) death....As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison."
Acts 8:1a, 3
If nothing else, Saul was zealous for what he believed. In his resume or bio, he listed his heritage – circumcised and blameless according to the law, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews, a Pharisee, "concerning zeal, persecuting the church" (Philippians 3:5-6). When he became a Christian, he had that same zeal for the Gospel. Most people I know are apathetic regarding spiritual things. They don't get excited about their faith. They just float along with a "ho-hum" attitude. Oh God, I want to be zealous for You!
Today's Thought: God can use people who are zealous.
Have a zealous day. Love you.
