269. Because He LIves, we have a meaningful message (Acts 5:12,17-32)

If we learned anything this week, it is you may think you’rea football fan, but are you a drive all the way across the country, stand outside in Wisconsin Spring rain, put game day facepaint and foam hat on fan?  You follow sports, but will you pull your kid out of school and wake him up at 4am just so you can be in the studio audience for a Dan Patrick show kind of follower? 

Fan stands for fanatic.  The Latin adjective fanaticus, which in usage, came to mean a person who was “frantic, frenzied, or mad.” I imagine when Jesus cleaned out the temple, people thought he was frantic, frenzied or mad, but the Bible called that zeal.  Discover the good and bad kind of zeal, the good and bad kind of fanatic.
