Statement on the Nature of Evil Hearts (06/29/'24)

Statement on the Nature of Evil Hearts In the depths of human nature, there exists a realm where evil craves and demands control. Hearts corrupted by their own desires elevate their authority, prioritizing their self-reference above all else. They manipulate Scripture to suit their selfish aims, deliberately ignoring and rejecting passages that call for self-correction and repentance. These hearts, devoid of conscience, lack remorse and reflection, shunning the path of righteousness and embracing a broad, deceptive way. In this darkness, remorse becomes an elusive shadow. The truth that could liberate them is rejected, as they find a twisted comfort in their sin. However, light and renewal await those humble enough to seek the truth. A heart willing to turn from evil can find remorse and walk in grace, embracing true freedom. The choice remains: to dwell in the darkness of a heart devoid of light or to seek repentance and renewal, where genuine liberation lies.
