As we wrap up this series centered around the health of our spiritual and emotional heart, we have to make sure this checkup is a part of our routine. Do we care about the things that the people we care about care about? Sometimes it comes a little more naturally, but how can we make this a beat of our heart.

There is a very real battle between what we want now and what we want most, and we have a choice to make—will our hearts be set on NOW or LATER?

One way to test the spiritual condition of your heart is to listen to the words you say. In Matthew 15:10-20, Jesus teaches that the words we say reveal what’s in our hearts. Monitoring the nature of your words can help you monitor the condition of your heart. When it comes to your heart, do you hear yourself?

It's a pretty mighty thing to know that God is FOR me and you. But it should always be followed by a comma not a period. He is FOR me, so I will be FOR others.

Self-Control. That little compound word that seems like it's too much to handle. As we wrap up the conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, we follow the example of Jesus and let the Spirit lead the way.

Faithfulness stands out because unfaithfulness is all too common. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, faithfulness means being someone others can count on -- but what happens when someone isn't -- what if that someone is you.

Gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength that’s been trained to love well. In our conversation about the Fruit of the Spirit, gentleness is the ability to respond with grace when we could react with force. This kind of strength doesn’t come from willpower, but from the Spirit shaping us from the inside out.

What's Good? Sometimes it's a casual remark, but the deeper you go the more you find it can be difficult to figure out. But we have a guide for life when we yield to God's Spirit.

The world’s got a lot to say about being a man—but most of it misses the mark. Jesus shows us a better way: strength with humility, truth with love, and purpose that lasts. Real manhood starts with following Him.
