Store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven
where moth and rust cannot destroy and thieves cannot break in and steal

Let’s Get to the Heart of Matters


You are never a great man when you have more mind than heart.” 
Beauchene
Atheists of course place a great deal of emphasis on the mind. They practically worship the mind. The heart, however is central to the message of the Bible for the heart is central to we, who He created.
The heart, as the Bible uses the term is the essence of human nature.
The heart is the main target of our mortal enemy, satan.
God longs for us to look within to where He resides.
satan schemes for ways to get us to look outward to looks and possessions and jobs, all the things that will never last nor will they ever bring life.
The heart is the prize to be protected at all cost. When we look at the lengths that our Creator went to protect our heart from eternal destruction, can we doubt its value or import?
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” 
Deuteronomy 6:5
All a person’s ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart.” 
Proverbs 21:2
The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 
1st Samuel 16:7
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” 
2nd Chronicles16:9
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5
Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.” 
Psalm 119:1
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” 
Luke 12:34
Create in me a clean heart oh God.” 
Psalm 51:10
Who we are and even more importantly, Whose we are is the heart of the matter.
