When God Heals a Hard Heart: Replace stony hearts with tender ones

Broadcast Episode

Tuesday, April 08

The message delves into the themes of hard-heartedness and conformity to worldly standards as seen in the book of Ezekiel. It highlights how the Jewish people strayed from God's commandments by adopting the customs of surrounding pagan nations, leading to spiritual hard-heartedness. The warning is that individuals today can similarly become jaded and distant from God through cultural assimilation, resulting in closed hearts and resistance to divine truths. The message emphasizes that God is always willing to intervene by offering to replace stony hearts with tender ones, urging individuals to avoid the gradual drift from spiritual sensitivity. Through transformation and the renewal of the mind, believers can resist worldly patterns, drawing closer to God and better understanding His will. The overarching message is one of hope: no matter the reason for a hardened heart, God’s love has the power to heal and renew it.
