If you’re a church person and not a Jesus person, my heart hurts for you. It’s like being engaged and never getting married. It’s miserable.
The heart of our problem is the problem of our hearts.
In too many marriage conflicts, we work too hard at winning the argument and too little at winning the heart.
Without a heart transformed by the grace of Christ, we just continue to manage external and internal darkness.
The idolatry the exists in a man's heart always wants to lead him away from his Savior and back to self-reliance no matter how pitiful that self-reliance is or how many times it has betrayed him.
Our goal is transformed hearts that lead to transformed lives. Transformed lives do not lead to transformed hearts. Are you trackin' with that?
We carry an insidious prosperity gospel around in our dark, little, entitled hearts.
The general confusion is that our moral behavior is what justifies us before God. Most of us would never say that with our mouths but we feel that lie in our heart and believe it in our minds. You can be morally upright and not be a worshipper of Christ at all.
What stirs up in my heart is, 'Oh would we see an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.'
