Keeping the Heart

In biblical terminology the heart and the mind or intellect are closely connected. If the heart is pure, the words, deeds and entire life will be pure. If we think on pure, honorable and lovely things, our life will become pure, honorable and lovely. “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” Each of us should emphasize the cleanliness of the inner life. This can be done as we meditate upon God’s Word.

    The coarse, vulgar and profane life does not make one “cool,” “manly” or whatever the other descriptions that the media gives to such speech and actions. It simply makes one coarse, vulgar, profane and stupid. One who cannot express himself without using such speech and actions needs to go back to school to learn the basics.
