The Secrets of our Hearts – Ken Barnes

People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives. (Proverb 16:2 NLT)

It is often said that what you see is what you get. In the Church, this is often not true.

I led a discipleship program for a major mission organization. We would often get young guys or gals in that school. They knew all the Christian terminology. They have learned to play the Christian game of saying or doing just enough to please their parents or their pastor. These students were not with us long before it becomes evident that there was a disconnect between what they said and what they did it.

Christianity is not about pleasing people but pleasing God. God is not pleased by external modifications we make to our actions, but internal heart transformation that changes why we do what we do. These changes never come by self-effort alone, but by the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

The lack of a heart change is illustrated clearly in the older brother of the prodigal son in Luke 12:11-32. When the younger brother got what the older brother thought he deserved, the older brother’s true spiritual colors were revealed. He did not serve his father out of love but because of what he could get from him. His motive was basically selfish. The older brother was doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons.

Life has a way of confronting us about the secrets of our hearts. The next time someone else seems to get what you deserve, you might want to ask the Lord what he is trying to say to you.

Is he trying to reveal to you the secrets of your heart?

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. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"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 defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
