We guard the password on our phone and laptop to make sure our information stays protected. We guard our banking information because we know if it falls into the wrong hands we could be left penniless. We even guard our homes with deadbolts and security systems because we want to protect ourselves and those we love.
 
 But do we go to the same lengths to guard our hearts? To protect our hearts from words and information and interactions that will darken and distort them?
 
 This week, we’ll explore why the Bible tells us to guard and protect our hearts with greater intentionality and intensity than anything else.
