Rend Your Heart – Ken Barnes
“And rend your heart and not your garments.” (Joel 2:13a NASB)Joel was grieved over the religious hypocrisy of his day. He saw the need for repentance that just did not tear their outer garments but broke their hearts over their sin. One of the greatest enemies of true faith has always been a false religion. False religion tries through self-effort to change our external behaviors to make ourselves good. It seeks to improve us from the outside to the inside. True worship always starts with the heart and proceeds to alter external actions. The problem with changing our behavior first is that these modifications are never permanent. When the external stimuli from religious peoples’ opinions and observations are gone, then we revert back to old habit patterns. Why? It’s because our heart motivation that drives our behaviors has never been changed. We rend our outer garments as a smokescreen to hide the sinfulness of our hearts. Self-effort can never produce a brokenness. It is only God that can change a heart. What then must we do? We must first recognize our need. We must see ourselves as destitute and spiritual paupers without any ability to save ourselves. The Beatitudes tell us that “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3 NASB). People who practice false religion never recognize their need and therefore are the most difficult people to reach with the Gospel. Trying to be good enough to go to heaven is the fatal attraction of most false religions. Contact Ken and find more of his articles HERE. |

Radical New Covenant Bible Studies for Radical Freedom in Christ
Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant letter of the law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross. And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity.
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time.
Running close to 5 stars with over 180 online reviews.
Recent Amazon Review:
"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus; but truth defeats lies every time and never forsakes the believer." 2-18-17 |
