Go all in. It looks good on a t-shirt. It looks good on a Christ-follower, too. Unfortunately, we are really good at half-way when it comes to our devotion to the Lord. I find myself going in spurts. I'm all in for awhile and then I get distracted. I'm gung-ho in one area, but not in another. Brandon Heath's song, "Whole Heart" reminds us to love God the way He wants us to...with our whole heart.

There's a wonderful story found in 2 Chronicles about King Asa and all of Judah going "all in."  Will you join me in exploring it this week?

On this episode I discuss:

  • Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:
    • Slow down (digest smaller chunks)
    • Explore a topic
    • Read in context (don't read part of the story...especially this week)
  • The heart as inner man - a place where affections, will, and inclinations reside
  • How God asks for our wholehearted love and devotion - Matthew 22:37
  • The combination life -- half-in and half-out
  • God as our example of wholeheartedness - Jeremiah 32:37-41
  • A quote from Andrew Murray - The Two Covenants
  • King Asa's story in 2 Chronicles 14-16 and 1 Kings 15
  • The peace King Asa and all of Judah enjoyed because of their wholehearted devotion to God
  • King Asa and the people entering into a covenant to seek the LORD with all their heart and with all their soul
  • The comparison and contrast of when King Asa relied on God and when he relied on other men
  • How we get a new heart that can maintain wholehearted devotion. God will give it to us!
