you to serve the Lord, choose you

the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his
commandments and his statutes which are

turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine
heart, and with all thy soul. 11 For this
commandment which I command thee this

far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that thou
shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to
heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may
hear it, and do it?

of David my father to build an house for
the name of the Lord God of Israel 18

Whereas it was in thine heart to build an
house unto my name, thou didst well that it
was in thine heart. 19 Nevertheless thou
shalt not build the house; but thy son that
shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall
build the house unto my name.

Neh 4:1-2 But it came to pass, that when
Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he
was wroth, and took great indignation, and
mocked the Jews.2 And he spake before his
brethren and the army of Samaria, and said,
What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify
themselves? will they sacrifice? will they
make an end in a day? will they revive the
stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which
are burned?
13
It Must Be In Our
Heart To Do The Will Of God !

15
Our Hearts Today Either
Justify Us or Condemn Us !
 Matt 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
 Matt 6:21 For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.

Matt 12:34 O generation of vipers, how
can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh.
16
Our Actions Speak Loudly !

Matt 12:35-37 A good man out of the
good treasure of the heart bringeth
forth good things: and an evil man out
of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil
things. 36 But I say unto you, That every
idle word that men shall speak, they shall
give account thereof in the day of
judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt
be justified, and by thy words thou shalt
be condemned.
17
Our Actions Speak Loudly !

Matt 13:15 For this people's heart is
waxed gross, and their ears are dull of
hearing, and their eyes they have closed;
lest at any time they should see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, and should
understand with their heart, and should be
converted, and I should heal them.

A Common Problem With
Many Who Claim Christianity !

Matt 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto
me with their mouth, and honoureth me
with their lips; but their heart is far
from me.
How can you tell ? ? ?
 Matt 15:11 Not that which goeth into the
mouth defileth a man; but that which

cometh out of the mouth, this
defileth a man.
19
These Defile A Man !

Matt 15:18-20 But those things which
proceed out of the mouth come forth
from the heart; and they defile the
man.19 For out of the heart proceed
evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness,
blasphemies:20 These are the things
which defile a man: but to eat with
unwashen hands defileth not a man.
20
The Key To Service To God
 Matt
22:37-39 Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind. 38
This is the first and great
commandment. 39 And the second is
like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
21
It Is A Simple Matter !

Rom 2:5-8 But after thy hardness and
impenitent heart treasurest up unto
thyself wrath against the day of wrath
and revelation of the righteous judgment
of God; 6 Who will render to every man
according to his deeds: 7 To them who by
patient continuance in well doing seek for
glory and honour and immortality, eternal
life: 8 But unto them that are
contentious, and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness, indignation
22
and wrath,
Impenitent Heart VS
Tender Heart

Acts 8:22-23 Repent therefore of this thy
wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the
thought of thine heart may be forgiven
thee. 23 For I perceive that thou art in the
gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
 This was a Christian caught in disobedience..
What to do…
 Acts 8:24 Pray ye to the Lord for me, that
none of these things which ye have spoken
23
come upon me.
He told 5 of 7 Churches - Asia

Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from
whence thou art fallen, and repent,
and do the first works; or else I will
come unto thee quickly, and will remove
thy candlestick out of his place, except
thou repent.
24
What Did He Say To
Laodicean Church
 Rev
3:15-16 I know thy works,
that thou art neither cold nor
hot: I would thou wert cold or
hot. 16 So then because thou art
lukewarm, and neither cold nor
hot, I will spue thee out of my
mouth.
25
The Lord Has No Tolerance
For Indifference

Rev 3:18-19 I counsel thee to buy of me
gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be
rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest
be clothed, and that the shame of thy
nakedness do not appear; and anoint
thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest
see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke
and chasten: be zealous therefore,
and repent.
