And Jesus, the heart of the Christian faith is the wildest, most radical guy you'd ever come across.
What good are Greek, commentaries, insight, gift, and all the rest, if there is no heart for Christ?
...centre of the centre, the real heart of Christianity as it has been until now.
I like how someone once said being a Christian is not about having new ideas but having new eyes. This is the ability to have our hearts broken with the things that break the heart of God. That is part of what it means to be a Christian.
Consider that as a principle of love is the main principle in the heart of a real Christian, so the labor of love, is the main business of the Christian life.
No one can truly see Christ, and drink in the influence of his character, and not be a Christian at heart.
The heart that has really tasted the grace of Christ, will instinctively hate sin.
For years and years, Christians have been singing about their wandering hearts. Our hearts need to be recalibrated and realigned and reoriented by God.
