| guide your heart with all diligence sermon: Love Worth Finding (Pack Of 25) Adrian Rogers, 1998-11-23 Psychologists have long known that every person has two great longings and inward needs. The first is to be loved, and the second is to love. But when pressures and heartaches come into our lives, many give up any hope of ever finding love. The tragedy is that we often look in the wrong places to fill this deep, deep need and longing. Some substitute lust for love. Others pursue material things or superficial relationships-all in the futile attempt to fill a God-shaped vacuum in the human heart. But there is good news! There is a love worth finding and a love worth sharing. The Bible says, For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). On the cross of Christ, God's mighty love was revealed and offered unconditionally to all who would be saved. Do you long to know this mighty love? Then I need to ask you the most important question you'll ever be asked: Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God loves you, that your sins are forgiven, and that you are saved and on your way to heaven? The great news is, you can know! Let me share with you how to discover the greatest love worth finding. Admit Your Sin. First, you must admit that you are a sinner. The Bible says, There is none righteous, no, not one (Romans 3:10). For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). It is our sin that separates us from God and from fulfilling our deepest needs and longings. Sin is an offense against God that carries a serious penalty. According to Romans 6:23, The wages of sin is death [eternal separation from the love and mercy of God]. Abandon Your Efforts. Second, you must abandon any efforts to save yourself. If we could save ourselves, Jesus' death would have been unnecessary! Even getting religion cannot get you to heaven. The Bible says it is not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His [God's] mercy He saved us (Titus 3:5). Salvation is by God's grace, not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Acknowledge Christ's Payment. What you cannot do for yourself, Jesus Christ has done for you! But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). He died on the cross for you, and then rose from the dead to prove that His payment was acceptable to God. But you must acknowledge and believe this fact. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:31). Accept Christ as Your Savior. Salvation is God's gift to you. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23). When someone offers you a priceless gift, the wisest thing you can do is accept it! This very moment, you can receive Christ's gift of salvation by sincerely praying this simple prayer from your heart: Dear God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that You love me and want to save me. Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died on the cross to pay for my sins. I believe God raised You from the dead. I now turn from my sin and, by faith, receive You as my personal Lord and Savior. Come into my heart, forgive my sins, and save me, Lord Jesus. In Your name I pray. Amen. Friend, if you have not yet made a decision for Christ, I urge you to receive Him today. You'll be eternally glad to know the love worth finding! |
| guide your heart with all diligence sermon: The Dynamic Heart in Daily Life Jeremy Pierre, 2016-10-03 Our approach to counseling and personal ministry is often lopsided—we treat people as minds to be taught or problems to be fixed, moving too quickly toward applying biblical solutions without taking the time to love people well and understand their experiences and hurts. The Dynamic Heart in Daily Life provides a comprehensive view of how the heart works and how Christ redeems it. Pierre’s faith-centered understanding of people combines with a Word-centered methodology to give readers a practical way to help others better understand their tough experiences and who they are in light of who Jesus is. Pierre guides readers through four key activities—reading, reflecting, relating, and renewing—that will consistently position them to understand everyday human experiences in light of Scripture. Pierre exposes the false dichotomy between the spiritual and seemingly unspiritual parts of the human experience, showing how every thought, feeling, and choice actually expresses the spiritual activity of the heart. He shows how faith in Christ is the means by which the heart begins to respond differently. Faith is not only the entry point for heart change, but also an expression of our everyday, ongoing need for Christ. Pierre’s holistic view of counseling—forged by his experiences as a counselor, pastor, and seminary professor—equips readers to understand how everyday beliefs, desires, and commitments shape how we respond to life’s biggest struggles and how an active relationship of trust in God is the foundation for lifelong change. |
| guide your heart with all diligence sermon: Hope for the Hurting Tony Evans, 2022-01-11 Life is painful. Everyone's story comes with unique challenges, difficulties, bumps, and bruises that leave you lost and drowning in their wake. It could be a financial disaster, a health issue, a broken relationship, or the loss of a loved one. Dr. Tony Evans, bestselling author and pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, understands life's hardships firsthand. In a span of less than two years, he lost his brother, sister, brother-in-law, two nieces, father, and wife. At the same time, both of his daughters received cancer diagnoses. In the wake of all this pain, Dr. Evans had to put into practice, at the deepest levels, the truths he has preached about God for more than forty years. God's Word doesn't promise us a life free from pain and trouble. It promises us something else—Someone else. Someone who will walk with us through all of life's trials and troubles. There is hope for the hurting: His name is Jesus. |

Spurgeon, 2018-08-14 PREFACEIn preparing a book for publication entitled Gems from Proverbs, I came across this sermon by Brother Spurgeon. While reading it, I felt transported to a heavenly place. Every word seemed to be like poetry to me. Certainly this is one of Spurgeon's best.Being still inspired and lifted up by this sermon, the thought came to publish just this one sermon so that others who know nothing about him may be as enthralled by his preaching as well. To those who love him and read him regularly, this book shall be a lovely golden nugget that you can read again and again.God blessed Spurgeon and his preaching, and my prayer is that He will bless all who read this book as well.You will find it is a little piece of heaven come down to touch your soul. |
| guide your heart with all diligence sermon: Help Me God! Change My Life Rhonda Jones, 2012-06-21 Jesus said in Matthew 6:22-23, “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Are mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual toxins blocking God's light from shining through in your life? There is nothing more beautiful than watching the sunlight shine through a crystal clear window. That light comes through in full force without anything blocking its entrance. But imagine that same window full of fingerprints, smudges, cob webs, and dirt. Although the same sun shines ever so brightly, the debris on the window will begin to block some of that light from entering in. The toxins in our life: our fears, unbelief, depression, oppression, judgment, busyness, guilt, unforgiveness, anger, and strife (to name a few) symbolize the smudges and debris that begin to accumulate on the windows of our mind, body, and spirit that block or prohibit God's light, which represents peace, joy, abundance, love, trust, health, and faith from shining into our lives without any obstructions in the way. The more toxic we have become, the less of God's light that shines on us. It's the same as closing our eyes, so that the light of God is shut out, making our whole body partially or fully darkened and limiting what God wants to do in us and through us. Help Me God! Change My Life is a 10-week Biblie-based program that will take you through a process of examining, peeling back, and eliminating those areas in your life, those illusions, obstacles, habits, and deceptions that keep you from being content with your life and experiencing God's peace, health, and joy now. Usually, it's our own toxicity that creates the toxic situations we face. It's time to step out of that toxic pit and allow God to make your foot steps firm and plant your feet on His solid rock! The Help Me God! Change My Life Program integrates Biblical meditation and includes three Christ-Centered Meditation Scripts designed specifically to help listeners move past their conscious mind and into their heart, where according to Jones, real healing takes place. It is also possible to purchase the companion Help Me God! Meditation CD or the 3-meditation downloads for more inconvenience. You'll find details inside the book. Jones is also the creator of the award-winning website The Christian Meditator and creator of the Christian Meditation and Relaxation CD Series that allows Christians to meditate on God in a way that completely honors their Christian faith. |
| guide your heart with all diligence sermon: God at Work Gene Edward Veith Jr., 2011-08-02 When you understand it properly, the doctrine of vocation—doing everything for God's glory—is not a platitude or an outdated notion. This principle that we vaguely apply to our lives and our work is actually the key to Christian ethics, to influencing our culture for Christ, and to infusing our ordinary, everyday lives with the presence of God. For when we realize that the mundane activities that consume most of our time are God's hiding places, our perspective changes. Culture expert Gene Veith unpacks the biblical, Reformation teaching about the doctrine of vocation, emphasizing not what we should specifically do with our time or what careers we are called to, but what God does in and through our callings—even within the home. In each task He has given us—in our workplaces and families, our churches and society—God Himself is at work. Veith guides you to discover God's purpose and calling in those seemingly ordinary areas by providing you with a spiritual framework for thinking about such issues and for acting upon them with a changed perspective. |
