In this lesson, The Reproach of a Fanatic, we learn that a fanatic is someone that loves something beyond reasoning. David had come to a place in his walk with God that he had invested almost everything he spent so much time in God. At the end of the day there was nothing left for David because it had all been spent on God. Before David was a fanatic about God on the throne, he was fanatical about God as a shepherd boy. Many of us want the victory of a king and the result of fanaticism but few want the responsibilities of a king nor the reproach of a fanatic. The wise have mastered the appearance of a Christian without sacrifice. Fool for Christ--- Being a fanatic, consumed with nothing left for yourself.
