Episode 163 - The Condition of the Heart

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.One of the men credited with starting the “Fitness craze” in America was Jim Fixx. His book, “The complete Book of Running” spent eleven weeks as the number one book in America, and Fixx became a frequent media presence. He was hailed as an authority on the health benefits of exercise. But in 1984, Jim Fixx died of a massive heart attack after finishing a workout run. He was just fifty-two years old.The condition of the physical heart is central to our health, but the condition of our spiritual heart is even more important, for it is central to our spiritual health. We may be able to conceal what is on the inside for a time, but when the harvest comes, the nature of our hearts will be revealed. By keeping our heart soft and tender to the things of God, we prepare our life for fruitful work for Him.
