As Christians, our role in the church amounts to more than just “follow your heart.” We have gospel duties to fulfill, and in Romans 1:8-17, the Apostle Paul gives us a powerful template to follow. First, he was thankful, despite the church in Rome being immature and imperfect. Second, he was prayerfully scheming of ways to minister to them more. Third, he was desirous to impart a spiritual blessing to them. Fourth, he was resolved to obtain fruit for their benefit. Fifth, he was large-hearted to all. Sixth, he was determined to preach the gospel. And, seventh, he wasn’t ashamed of the gospel. This window into Paul’s soul should compel us to pursue the Great Commission the way he did.

Don’t Just ‘Follow Your Heart’!

How should we dress as Christians? What&rsquo;s our duty with the tithe? And how do we tame our unruly tongues?&nbsp;
These are just three of many practical issues Scott Brown will address in his new podcast, Scripture Applied.&nbsp;
Approximately five minutes in length, these short takes are designed to bring God&rsquo;s Word to bear on a variety of important subjects. Drawing from sound exposition, Scott will give key scriptural insights designed to convict, instruct, and equip believers in their walk (2 Tim. 3:16-17).&nbsp;
Scripture Applied is based on the truth that God&rsquo;s Word is sure and sufficient (Ps. 119:89; 2 Tim. 3:16-17), having transforming power to save and guide us with the Holy Spirit&rsquo;s aid (Heb. 4:12; Ps. 119:105; 1 Cor. 2:14). As such, we must embrace this life-nourishing testimony to joyfully thrive with strength and wisdom (Deut. 8:3; Ps. 19:7-11). &nbsp;
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;&nbsp;&nbsp; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;&nbsp; The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;&nbsp;&nbsp; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;&nbsp; The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;&nbsp;&nbsp; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.&nbsp; More to be desired are they than gold,&nbsp;&nbsp; Yea, than much fine gold;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.&nbsp; &nbsp;Moreover by them Your servant is warned,&nbsp;&nbsp; And in keeping them there is great reward. (Ps.19:7-11)&nbsp;
