To say we live in a troubled world is an understatement. I have often heard people say, “Just trust your heart.”  However, this is the opposite of what the Bible teaches us in Jeremiah 17:9. It reads, “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” This verse is powerful in that it speaks to the nature of the human heart.  In this verse, the prophet Jeremiah shines a light on the condition of the human heart, highlighting its capacity for deceit and corruption.

The Joy of the Journey StormsAs I write this article, we are preparing for a dangerous line of storms that will pass through our area. Already, those storms have caused much damage throughout the West and are tracking our way. This makes me think about storms that come into our lives. The fact is, we’re either going into a storm, in a storm, or coming out of a storm. There are very few times in our lives when we are always at peace.  We all have to deal with the storms of life.
