Rediscovering the Heart of Faith

In his book, Waking the Dead, John Eldredge quotes Beauchene as saying:

You are never a great man when you have more mind than heart.

Always true, it hits me with force now as I’m preparing a Bible study for tonight. I’d just finished reading an 8th commentary on the passage. I’d reread the Scripture a dozen times. But had I prayed? Only once. And briefly.

So I close the internet browser. I look within my own heart. And I pray. There is far too much mind and far too little heart in my faith.
