Keeping the Heart | John Flavel | Christian Audiobook

Ойын-сауық

~ Audiobook Description ~
The heart of man is his worst part before it is regenerated, and the best part afterward. It is the seat of principles, and the fountain of actions.
The greatest difficulty in conversion is to win the heart to God. The greatest difficulty after conversion is to keep the heart with God. Direction and help in this great work are the scope of the text wherein we have:
* An exhortation: Keep thy heart with all diligence.
* The reason or motive enforcing it: For out of it are the issues of life.
In the exhortation we'll consider:
* The matter of the duty.
* The manner of performing it.
For out of it [the heart] are the issues of life. In other words, the heart is the source of all vital operations; it is the origin of both good and evil, just as the spring in a watch that sets all the wheels in motion. The heart is the treasury, the hand and tongue are but the shops. The heart contrives, and the members execute: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh (Luke 6:45).

    Thank you, thank you, thank you Aneko Press. I have been in constant physical, debilitating pain for 34 years. Unrelenting physical pain keeps me drained emotionally and mentally. In addition, life brings daily struggles. Sermons and books to help Christians cope with constant pain are almost non-existient. Christians rally around us initially, but if we are not healed, they drift away. A preacher came to my house and prayed for me to be healed and told me that God could not get glory out of my life unless I was healed!! WHAT???? Even in my pain God is conforming me into His image. Did the preacher not understand that? I know God loves me and I cling to Him. The pain I've been through brings me closer to Him. I've memorized hundreds of scriptures. When we're sick and hurting, our minds become a battlefield for satan. Struggling to remain close to God doesn't just come naturally when our defenses are drained. We must renew out tired, exhausted minds everyday. It's wonderful to have this anointed audio reading to come along side me for encouragement and as a validation for what I already know from private study of the scripture. By the way, I'm 72 years old. It will not be many years before I see Jesus face to face. Many times a day I remind myself that, and as a child of God, the best is yet to come....that's not a defense mechanism...it's reality!! Again, Ameko Press, you will never know the blessing your books are!!

    Thank you for your comment, Ronny. It sounds like you have the right perspective regarding giving God the glory and praise He deserves, no matter what we may experience here on earth. I trust you will be more than sufficiently rewarded for your faith in heaven, as well as here on earth. For us, it is a blessing knowing that our work is for the comfort and encouragement of our fellow believers in Christ. Keep looking to Him!

    The Christian life is not easy, but God is faithful. Life under the sun is tough, but we have God with us in the midst of it. I long to grow in holiness and be more like Christ. I long to have a heart pure for Him yet this body of death gets the best of me at times. Still learning and growing to trust in God’s Word and repent when I do go astray. Just wanted to vent out my heart… enjoying this audiobook.

    Im amazed at the people who listens to so many Christian Audiobooks. Do you know Much is given Much is required. The more knowledge you know concerning Gods word the more you will be required to live it. Thats why when we all face God with all the knowledge there is today just on youtube there will be no excuse for our ignorance on the day of Judgment. If youre not going to live what you know concerning Gods word you would be better off not to know it.
