Have You Let God’s Word into Your Heart?
“Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults.”
Psalm 19:12

Ponder This
Do you know why people have moral earthquakes? Because we have secret faults and we don’t know what’s beneath the surface. The psalmist said, “I can’t understand this.” You see, our hearts are deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. So what do we need? We need the Holy Spirit of God to bring conviction of sin. Jesus said, concerning the Holy Spirit, “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8).
We may agree that we’ve sinned, but we’ll never understand the depth of our sin, or ever truly be convicted of that sin until the Holy Spirit of God speaks to us. God uses His Word for the purpose of conviction and God wants to speak to your heart today. Don’t you let your heart get hard. You can believe intellectually in God, and you can go to Hell with a Bible under your arm unless you let the Word of God come into your heart.
- What does it mean to let the Word of God into your heart?
- Do you practice this each day through daily Scripture reading and prayer?
Practice This
Spend time in prayer today, asking God to put His Word into your heart and to reveal your secret faults so that you might repent and turn to Him.

What is the mission of the Church?
Love Worth Finding's newest book, "A Final Charge to the Church, "is based on the final series of messages Pastor Rogers preached before retiring in 2005. Pastor Rogers wanted to prepare his congregation for the future. In doing so, he provided a biblically sound blueprint that applies to all Christians on topics including unity among believers, standing strong in opposition to the enemy (Satan), the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives, steadfastness in prayer, true worship, faithfulness to God's Word, caring for others, and the kingdom authority given to believers in Jesus Christ. The book is a great read for all believers who want to become better prepared, as the bride of Christ, to be radiant, pure, and faithful to Jesus, the living Word of God.
