Ep. 115 Guard The Wellspring

We spend so much energy managing our behavior and almost none guarding the place it all comes from. Proverbs says that out of the heart spring the issues of life. In this episode, Pastor Snyder stops trimming the fruit and goes after the root. The heart is a wellspring; it has gates (your eyes, your mouth, your feet), and you will end up living in the direction of whatever you protect. This is not white-knuckle control. It is tending the source so the stream runs clean. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Why the heart is the priority, not the behavior. The three gates Proverbs 4 names, and how to guard them. How a guarded heart becomes a pure heart that sees God. One gate to audit this week. SCRIPTURE ANCHOR Proverbs 4:20-27 (NKJV): "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." See also Philippians 4:6-8 and Matthew 5:8 (NKJV).
