Zeal According to Knowledge

Romans 10:2 pattern

Paul spoke of those who had a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. The combination matters. Passion detached from truth can become destructive. Truth held without passion can become sterile. Christian maturity holds both—heat and light, fervor and understanding—together under the lordship of Christ.

How you’d preach it

Zeal without knowledge can harm. Knowledge without zeal can stagnate. Both are needed.
