Welcome to another episode of "Open The Bible" with Pastor Colin Smith, hosted by David Pick. Today's discussion centres around a crucial teaching from the Book of Proverbs on the importance of guarding your heart. But what does that mean? Why is it so important? And most significantly, how do we actually go about doing what God calls us to do?

Drawing wisdom from scripture and insights from esteemed Christian writers like John Flavell and Octavius Winslow, Pastor Colin dives deep into understanding why keeping our heart with all vigilance is essential for our spiritual life. We explore how the state of our heart influences every aspect of our lives – our choices, our joy, our peace, and our strength. Just as a valuable Stradivarius violin needs constant tuning, our hearts require constant care and attention, for from it flow the springs of life.

In this episode, you'll learn about the practical steps to guard and watch your heart diligently. Pastor Colin shares five specific ways to monitor and maintain the health of your soul, ensuring that the life-giving streams of joy, peace, and love can flow freely from within.
