Transcript of The Attitude of the Heart - Constant...
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.
