ZEAL How do those who know the people at 1410 Golf

Club Lane describe us? Are we a congregation that

is seen as enthusiastic about using our talents and

resources to serve not only God but those on our

mission field? Zeal brings to mind a fervor and con-

suming desire to be like Jesus. Further it is embrac-

ing the unconditional love Christ has for us and lov-

ing with that same kind of passion. We are blessed

by grace and the Father’s love and from loving grati-

tude we should desire to live a life worthy of such

an awesome God. Life changing grace is often tak-

en for granted and should we wonder what could

happen in our community of faith if we allowed that

excitement to permeate each moment of the day?

It would be hard to imagine how many lives would

be touched and changed if God’s children were in-

struments tuned and played by the Master, not to

mention how greatly our lives would change. The

gift of each day will bring opportunities and expec-

tations, not from a sense of obligation, to make a

difference in the lives of those we have the honor to

contact. Joy consumes us causing our enthusiasm

to be unquenchable especially when it is directed

and fueled with the presence and power of the Holy

Spirit. We have the promise of this happening as we

grow in our relationship with the Lord. It is more

than just an emotions experience, more than a wor-

ship event, more than Bible study and prayer it is a

drive from within to serve.

Serving God is always about others and we are

being called and wooed to a higher relationship

with Him. Many may recall members of this congre-

gation who reached their “golden years” yet still felt

and worked tirelessly to move to a deeper relation-

ship in their spiritual lives; sometimes as we grow

we embrace new visions. For many our taste in food

has changed but we still seek nourishment. Service

to His kingdom is the same way and He does not

desire part timers, short timers or weekend warri-

ors. Christianity should be producing people who

are not only stirred but changed. The Sunday expe-

rience identifies a need that should be met and yet

no commitment of time or ability is made available.

It is easy to see a ministry but even easier to stand

back and wait and see if there will be others to

make it happen without being personally involved.

Tommy Tenney in “The God Chasers” says, “There

is something in us that make us afraid of the com-

mitment that comes with real intimacy with God.

For one thing, intimacy with God requires purity.

The days of fun and games in church are over.

What do I mean by fun and games? If your defini-

tion of love is commitment and lots of thrills and

chills, then all you want to do is date God.” Tenney

is right; many want goose bumps and warm and

fuzziness without commitment. We like the thought

of being anointed, blessed and gifted and yet we

wait and see instead of going and doing. God ex-

pects a long term, no turning back commitment and

even when the going gets tough or difficult and

hard to understand; we intensify our effort and de-

pend completely on him to make it so. God calls us

to hear the call and respond knowing it will make a

difference, personally and in others as well. It is

with bold confidence that we go all in knowing that

he is with us every step of the way. Our morning

prayers should include a pledge to renew our vows

in His service.
