Strong on Zeal, Thin on Knowledge

by Samuel

CT has a insightful article written by Jedd Medefind, President of the Christian Alliance for Orphans regarding the recent incident of  Americans who were arrested for attempting to take Haitian children out of the country. While his comments are centered around this particular situation, the relevance is far reaching. Here is an excerpt that nails the point home:

Passion alone is simply not sufficient; it must be consistently paired with wisdom. Zeal without knowledge can be a destructive force. A compassionate impulse may indeed be God’s nudging, and certainly should not be ignored. But the hard work of education, preparation, and planning most always stand between us and a job well done.
