Today in the church the pastor talked about hearts. He read "do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness" (Hebrews 3:8). He brought a stoneheart. He showd that to us and he said that is not the right heart for us, and after that he introduced why. He poured water to it and said: "We know the stone is hard. It can hurt us. The water is the word of God. The water runs off the stoneheart. Maybe it'll be a little bit cleaner but doesn't seems like touched by God." Then he showed a heart ballon and he said: "Maybe it's softer than the stoneheart but you can see the water runs off it too. People sometimes has conceited heart." We read in the Bible that "everyone with a conceited heart is disgusting to the Lord." Then he showed a spongeheart. He dipped the sponge into the water and he said: "It absorbs the water. We may say that would be the right heart for us! But we know if we squeeze the sponge it won't be able to keep the water inside." Then he said "Put your hand over your heart. Feel your heart beat. Your heart is the right heart. It pumps blood, it gives life. And the word of God can touch your heart and can give you real life."
Amen.
