Heart of Darkness


   The horrific acts of violence in Boston, and what seems at this time to be the casual, almost offhanded, way in which they were planned and carried out reminds us of a sad truth.

   “All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the LORD weighs the heart.”  Proverbs 21:2

   Joseph Conrad in his book “The Heart of Darkness” (on which the moved “Apocalypse Now” is based) held as his theme that the danger is not in the jungle, but in the human heart.

   Our hope is that Jesus transforms our hearts by love.

   Laws and expectations do not change us.

   It is the love of God that makes all things new.

   “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. “  John 3:16

   Open your heart today.
