Pastor's Corner
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Ezekiel 36:26-27
New Year! New Heart? How have you changed this past year? Is it a change of mind we need or a change of heart? The word is heart is used in Scripture as a description of the inner person. It is the place where we desire and make decisions. D.L. Moody wrote it is, "the place of conscious and decisive spiritual activity," "the comprehensive term for a person as a whole; his feelings, desires, passions, thought, understanding and will," and "the center of a person. The place to which God turns." So, if someone’s heart is hard, it means it is not easily moved or conformed and is set in its way. God desires to take our hard hearts to soften and shape them into the Love He has for us! People will say they want a new life, but it’s not a new life you need, it’s a new heart from God.
With Much Love,
Pastor Chris
