Volume 40 Number 27 July 2, 2017

The Attitude of the Heart

“As he thinketh in his heart, so is he:” Proverbs 23:7. The word

“attitude” is defined as our feelings toward something, our disposition. It

is our greatest asset as well as our greatest liability because to a degree, it

controls our lives. Our actions and our reactions to all of the events of our

lives are based largely on our attitude. Our attitude (mindset) very

often determines which way we go when we come to a fork in the road as

we travel down the pathway of life.

Knowing that our attitude (mindset) springs from our heart, it

is no wonder that Solomon tells us to keep our hearts with all dili-

gence (Proverbs 4:23). We know that what comes out of our hear ts

depends on what we put into our hearts (Phil. 4:8; Luke 6:45). Our heart,

our mind, is the source of our thoughts, intents and purposes, hence the

need to guard it diligently. We are all walking testimonies as to the need

for self control and we all can testify as to the difficulty of doing so; but,

diligence is the key. We are constantly bombarded with the pressure to

say, think or do things contrary to God’s will. The lust of the flesh, the

lust of the eyes, and the pride of life are alive and active today as much as

they were in the Garden of Eden (I John 2:15-17). Be diligent (Hebrews

11:6)!

If our thinking is going to be pure, if we are going to be successful

in keeping our hearts as they should, then our lives must ever be lived by

the premise, “Not my will God but yours.”

It is an honor to have you join us in worship at the

Northside Church of Christ! Our mission is to save

souls and to help souls stay saved. We extend our

sincere love towards you and we encourage you to take

advantage of the opportunity to have a bible study with

members who are eager to study with you. If you do not

share our like faith, this bible study, as well as your visit

today, offers a two way opportunity: (1) We have the

chance to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ and

the essential steps to salvation. (2) You have the chance

to hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized where-

by being added to the Church of Christ. We welcome

you to investigate what you hear and see today. You

will be able to ask your biblical questions and receive

biblical answers that will guide you to make an in-

formed, life changing decision. Thank you for being our

special guest! Please come again.

Did You Tell Someone About Jesus?

Matt. 28:19-20 is the great

commission given to members of

the body of Christ. As Christians,

it is our responsibility to Tell,

Talk and Teach others about

Jesus. Telling someone about

Christ will often open the door to

Talk with them about Him. You

can then Teach them or invite

them to Church where they can be

taught. We encourage each Chris-

tian to take advantage of such

opportunities. If you know of a

prospect, and for some reason

cannot conduct a personal Bible

study, please give their contact

information to Bro. and/or Sis.

Oliver or to one of our Leaders.
