If a man is not fully in love with righteousness it does no good to give him a “to do list”.  Sooner or later he will revert to impulsive behavior.

But this idea is at the root of the gospel.  If we will spend time with the Lord Jesus, he will change our earthly desires to Heavenly ones.  Instead of a heart of stone, over time, he builds within us a heart of flesh.

Serving the Ten Commandments as if law does nothing to the heart.  Learning to love as God loves produces a righteous heart.  But how should you learn if you do not spend time with him?  He is the great teacher.  Are you willing to be a great student?
