Reflecting on the Sermon: 7/17/11

Rod was back and we were back in Romans!  I have been enjoying our time in Romans.  He spoke from 10:9-10 on the heart as key to conversion.  Salvation is not primarily an issue of the head (though it does involve understanding certain truths).  It is an issue of the heart (ie the "real" you, the center of your will, personality, desires, and intellect too).  So, salvation is more than just mental assent to facts about Jesus.  It is nothing less than the regeneration of the heart- new life.  A person can pray a prayer or make a "decision," but if they do not believe with their heart they are not truly converted.  How about you?  Have you just been content to have some changed thinking without a changed heart?
