Zeal, Uncontrolled
Romans 10:1-13
Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.…


Phaeton took upon him to drive the chariot of the sun; but through his rashness set the world in combustion. What a horse is without a rider, or a ship without a rudder, such is zeal without knowledge. St. Bernard hits full on this point. Discretion without zeal is slow-paced, and zeal without discretion is strongheaded; let, therefore, zeal spur on discretion, and discretion rein in zeal.

(J. Spencer.)
