    In the Bible the heart is not simply the organ that pumps blood through the body.It’s a metaphor for a person’s innermost core or spiritual center.

    I think all of the things on this list, sexual immorality, unrighteousness and greed all share this component: they devalue something which is invaluable.

    Ephesians 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Which is more valuable, the things we buy or the things we receive and give freely? Think about it. We pay a high price ...read more

    Whatever you do in excess becomes an abuse, it is good to eat to keep healthy, but too much of food can pose danger to the body.
