The Applied Word

Weighing the Heart


Listen Later

Most men can easily justify their own actions. We build a case for why we do what we do, and in our own eyes, we are usually right. But what happens when our motives are placed on a divine scale? In this Bonus Episode of The Applied Word, we dive into Proverbs 21:2 through the lens of Charles Spurgeon. We discuss the difference between looking good on the outside and having a heart that measures up to God's standard, and how to lead your family and career with true integrity. No fluff. Just the Word and the walk.
