In the Beginning: A Series of Bible Teachings That Create a Lifestyle First of the Series

In Psalm 30:5 the Scripture reminds us: "For His anger endureth but a
moment; in His favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but the joy cometh
in the morning." We began a journey like no other journey; as night is different
from the day, as the sun is different from the moon this journey cannot and will
not ever be compared to any other journey. The journey for truth is not easily
accessed in a world of different cultures, beliefs, and denominations. We try tarot
cards, we go to psychics, we have our palms read and yet we are dissatisfied. It
may tell us 'what' but cannot tell us 'how'! Then we encounter different religions.
We read book after book; we set out on a spiritual journey to find ourselves. There
is a reason we have the fascination with the super-natural. We long for something
that will give us direction, tell us what lies before us. We are void and have an
emptiness of heart we do not know how to fill. Truth will fill the emptiness of
the heart. "My soul longeth, yea, even fainted for the courts of the Lord; my heart
and my flesh crieth out for the living God." (Psalm 84:2) For it is impossible to
know the heart, it is also impossible to find that which we know nothing about.
Where do we look? The heart is a complex piece of machinery. "The heart is
deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly perverse, corrupt and severely,
mortally sick! Who can know it, perceive, understand, be acquainted with his
own heart and mind." (Jeremiah 17:9, Amplified) Throughout this whole journey,
the one change that will mean the most will be the greatest transformation: the
transformation of our hearts because where our heart is, is what we will treasure.
The truth will make us free.
