Uniting the Divided Heart

The divided heart is a universal struggle, an age-old tug-of-war between the fleeting allure of this world and the enduring beauty of God’s love. It is not difficult to see how our hearts drift—our desires sway toward wealth, lusts, and approval.

You have stood in the heat of the day, tilled ground that sometimes feels barren, and poured out your heart till it is near spent. Ah, but here is a word for you—God is your strength, not merely yesterday, nor just for tomorrow, but here and now, in this very hour of weariness.

Grace and Free Will: Why True Righteousness Begins with the Holy Spirit

We, however, on our side affirm that the human will is so divinely aided in the pursuit of righteousness, that (in addition to man's being created with a free-will, and in addition to the teaching by which he is instructed how he ought to live) he receives the Holy Ghost, by whom there is formed in his mind a delight in, and a love of, that supreme and unchangeable good which is God, even now while he is still walking by faith and not yet by sight; 2 Corinthians 5:7 in order that by this gift to him of the earnest, as it were, of the free gift, he may conceive an ardent desi
