I was listening to the first part of the sermon series The Sacred Romance by John Eldredge. It is really good, I enjoyed it... I have read Wild at Heart, and part of Captivating which is by his wife. Pretty good books, good thoughts. This is my take on the sermon and sort of the highlights from it.
The heart is central... it is far more than feelings... it is the seed of the soul, the core of your being, the truest you... it is the wellspring of life within us. To lose heart is to lose everything!
God gave us a heart so we can live!
If the Lord doesn't take your breath away, something else will.
Our heart's longing is important! It is what drives us... Our thirst, our desires drive us.
Christian women are tired, and christian men are bored... that is the picture in today's churches.
I'm not Martha Stewart, and I dont want to marry Mr. Rogers...
The gospel is not a way to reform society, it is an invitation to LIFE! Life to the fullest, abundantly, overflowing with it!! The gospel is about our thirst... quenching our thirst!
Yes, our heart is wicked, we have to guard it! But the Lord gives us a new heart! We have a new, good heart! That is what the new covenant is.
