“For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge” (Romans 10:2).

Yesterday I saw news photos showing some shirt-less men lashing themselves with whips that had swords attached to the ends.

Almost every day I read of a suicide bomber striking somewhere in the world.

What zeal they show in the name of Allah!

Allah is a false God and not at all the one spoken of in Romans 10:2.

If only they would redirect their zeal toward Jehovah, the one true God!

If only I had that kind of zeal for God!

“As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed” (Romans 9:33).

If I believe in Jesus, no shame.

If I live for Jesus, no shame.

If I build my life on Jesus, no shame.

If I am faithful to Jesus to the end, no shame.

Yes!
