Some Heart Talk

Obviously when the Bible talks about our “hearts” it’s not the organ going thumpa, thumpa in our chests.

I’ve often tried to express what it means by adding things and coming up with a list like, “our hearts, and our minds, and our lives.” But that’s not precisely what the original languages were expressing.

Sunday in this space I quoted a friend who wants to be anonymous, and it’s to that same friend and our same conversation that I turn again for this —

When the Bible talks about our “heart”

it encompasses our intellect,

our will,

and

our emotion.

— Yup. Exactly. And thank you!
