Be Zealous! And Other Admonitions

I just read Eaten Me Up by Jacob Mammen, and I was so glad to see one of my friends being zealous that I just had to write about it! If you look at my record as a blogger in terms of the number of articles I've written over time, you can very clearly trace my own spiritual rises and falls. At times I was focusing my efforts on other outlets, but that record more or less tells the story - to my shame in some instances and to my credit at other times.

Revelation 2:4-5
Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works.

Many will recognize this as being part of Christ's message to one of the 7 churches - Ephesus in particular. This is actually a topic that I've been studying very heavily recently, and I find it to be no coincidence that I've seen several others writing about this very same subject in the last couple of weeks - Jacob even quotes part of one of those messages in his post about zeal!
