Part Two of Pastor Rod's sermon on... "Lest the Stones Cry Out" "I tell you," He replied, "If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." Lk 19:40 "All the earth, with a thousand voices, praises God,"the poet Coleridge once observed. But he wasn't even close! There are great many more than a 'thousand'! Scientists tell us there is a frequency in everything that exists. And all of them perfectly tuned for the glory of God! Let's listen in...  

Now that the heart is cured, we are... Really Living! "...so that you may know that you have eternal lofe." 1 John 5:13 "We pause before inscripted stone to read what comfort it might give, but moving on, the question lingers:'Did he really live?"

The heart that is cured is No Longer Afraid. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear." 1 jn 4:17lit "He who fears no danger, knows no sin," a poet once wisely observed: and that leaves out the human race! And perhaps, more than any time in history, ours is the generation of 'fear'. It's a symptom of the wounded heart: this constant wrestling with anxiety and dread. But God has given a 'cure'!

Part two of Pastor Rod Schorrs sermon on: No Longer Broken "Everyone who loves has been born of God and Knows God" 1 John 4:8 The surest proof that the wounded heart is cured is the capacity to love; our love is no longer 'broken'.

Because of His love we are...No longer Deceived "This is how we recognize the Spirit of Truth and The Spirit of Falsehood." 1 John 4:6 "O, What a godly outside falsehood hath..." whispered Shakespeare's 'Merchant' to his friend. It certainly is true today  like never before in history perhaps, we live in a culture of glamorous  deception. But when the love of God has 'cured' the 'wound' the heart is no longer deceived!
