“For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.” Romans 10:2
“How then can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard.” Romans 10:14a

One of the things I have been praying about for the past couple of months is a deeper passion. That prayer encompasses a deeper urgency to share the truth with those around me, a greater focus on what is most important in life and a greater hunger and thirst for Christ that spills out of my life onto those around me. And one of the ways that God is deepening my walk with Him is by highlighting the need for the truth in the world around me.

This week I was especially impacted when two J.W.’s came to my door. In the last six months I have been approached by them four times in different situations, out on the street and in my home. On Sunday afternoon after they knocked on my door I was especially saddened. How heartbreaking that the spread of a deception is active and aggressively present (zeal without knowledge) while there are literally thousands of Hungarians who have never heard the true gospel. And they can’t call on the one who can save them until they first hear the truth.
