Zebra Ministries

Welcome to the herd!

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

Correction

James 3:1 (ESV)  
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

Good morning Zebras,

This morning in a series of events too long to go into God showed me that I have been wrong about the order of publications of Francis Chan’s books.  Crazy Love was first, then Forgotten God and finally Erasing Hell.  Not that it really matters, but I had been told Forgotten God came first and because I never checked to see if it was true I passed along incorrect information to countless people.

Obviously it does not matter in what order Chan wrote his books but I can’t help but think what if that had been a truth of God.  What if I had inadvertently passed along incorrect information about our holy, perfect, good, loving, sovereign, righteous God because I didn’t bother to verify the truth for myself? 

Zebras I love you please, for my sake as well as you own, learn God’s word for yourself and not rely on the information disseminated to you by others, even if they are Godly people who love the Lord, because sometimes they are just repeating what they heard.

Love,

Jill

Burning Brightly

Good morning Zebras,

Tuesday at Bible study God gave me the perfect picture for what I believe is the purpose of this ministry. Coals burn brightest when they are in the presence of other coals. If you take them out and lay them to the side away from the heat they begin to grow cold. Christians too need one another to burn bright. Not so they can stay together in a heap and do nothing, but so that they can come together be re-energized by the fire of the Holy Spirit and get back out there doing what God has called them to do with a renewed power and passion. 
I love you little Zebras, more than you know and WAY out of proportion to what is normal.  
It must be from God. 
Jill
