The Big Idea:
If there is good treasure in the heart, it will show; if evil, that also will show in time. The answer is to love God with all of our hearts. As we surrender our lives to him, we let go of a divided heart where we love God in part, but love sin as well. We want our hearts to be fully devoted to God.
Main Points:
- We sometimes fail to see that a behavioral issue is a spiritual issue. The root of the behavior is sin. It’s not just a struggle or a bad attitude. It’s not just a family trait. It’s a spiritual problem. We must get to the root of it all.
- We face surface issues and struggles, but the real issue can be that we have spiritual heart disease.
- Let’s come to God with our confession, repentance, and full surrender. Ask God to give you a heart that completely follows after Him.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
Matthew 22:37 - “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
Luke 6:45 - “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”
