Zealot vs. Disciple by Ed Elliot

 Zealot vs. Disciple

      You can always tell when someone has a true biblical revelation or just a new doctrine.  Those with true biblical revelations will share their insights with compassion to help the lost and hurting and to uplift and encourage others.  Those with new doctrines will get in your face and use it to prove they are right and you are wrong.  One seeks to help and uplift others;  the other is only interested in being right.

     This is why God’s Word tells us to speak the truth in love.             

The absence of love doesn’t mean the truth  isn’t true;  it just means the one delivering it doesn’t know who the author of the truth is. 

–”He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love” (I John 4:8).                                                Ed Elliot
