A War From Within

This Saturday, February 5th, Tyler preached a sermon titled "A War from Within." Our thoughts not only come from our heads, but our hearts. We have intellectual thoughts (daily thoughts about everyday matters, like school or brushing your teeth) and Spiritual "heart thoughts," which need extra attention and care. Our hearts must be guarded diligently. So many people are tormented in their minds because of the things that go on in their hearts - we can't just think whatever we want and still think it's okay. In our hearts, there is always a war raging over whether we should serve God, or do what our flesh wants; what only pleases us, but not God. To win that war, we need a heart made pure by the Lord. We should also focus on the things of God, and not deal with unprofitable things, such as video games, especially if they become a hindrance in our walk with God.
