Okay guys, last night was the start of our new month long lesson on the heart. This series is taken from Andy Stanley's book of the same title, "It Came From Within". Last night we talked about how events/situations/life brings things (good and bad) that lodge in our heart. Whether its your parents' divorce, a painful childhood memory, a mistake you recently made, or disappointment...life is generally hard on the heart! Over time, the bad things go unaccounted for and continue to grow within us, affecting how we function and live life (Remember the alien embryos?). We start putting up walls and start ignoring to condition of the heart, taking the excuse "That's just the way I am", instead of facing the issues of the heart.
Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Over the next several weeks, we are going to look at 4 primary enemies of the heart. We will identify them and discover ways to bring them to light. This will help us clean our heart and stay away from "Spiritual Heart Disease". If we are going to make it through "LIFE", we have to discover ways of cleansing our heart.
Remember God's promise: Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
So the question of the week is: HOW IS YOUR HEART?
