A Heart Problem

Violence. Perversion. Racism. Paganism. Economic woes.

It is clear that our world has a heart problem.

A problem of sin that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Is there any hope for all that we observe on the daily news?

Is there any hope of this broken world being made new and hearts being made whole?

Yes, thank God there is.

For what this world desperately needs is Jesus.

But just as the Apostle Paul pointed out?

“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?”
-Romans 10:14

Therefore, today, as we reflect upon our sin and the desperate need of Jesus we all share, how can you recognize sin in your own life? But even more so, how has Jesus set you free from its bondage and given you a new heart?

This is the hope that the rest of the world desperately needs, whether they know it or not.

As the Church, the shining beacon on the hilltop, let us shine for all the world to see and point to the source of all our hope, joy, and gladness, Jesus Christ, so all may know that there is salvation in God alone!

Christian

Since coming to faith as a young college student, God’s lead has taken me around the world and back. Today, my passion is clearer than ever; my heart hurts for the lost, but it burns for the Church. My deepest desire is to equip the Church to be the body, working together to see people’s lives be redeemed in the name of Jesus. My name is Christian and my wife, Emily and I have been married for 6 years and have a little one named Amelia. Together, we’re fully committed to following Jesus to where ever He leads us.
