The Seven Postures of the Heart

Michael — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 22:13:50 +0000

What does it mean to really love God with our heart and not just “do the Christian life”? What comples us in our spirituality? Paul earnestly stated that, “Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all and therefore all died” (2 Cor. 5:14-15). If we are honest, we are often compelled by things like drivenness, insecurity, jealousy, anger, even shame. In Christ we are invited to a freeing journey of living from the heart. What might this look like? This message explores “postures our heart must take” which include humility, receptivity, trust, attentiveness, intentionality, perseverance, and grace.
