ICY HOT

The same sun that melts the ice, hardens the clay.

Likewise...the same Son that melts a believer's heart, hardens the heart of an unbeliever.

The ice begins hard and becomes weak. The clay begins weak and becomes hard. The more you hear the gospel, the closer you will be with Christ or the more numb you will be to it. Hate it or love it.

When you hear the gospel, which is it?

We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."
[Hebrews 3:14-15]

Reminds me of "The Parable of the Sower". Our pastor had a sermon on the hardened heart this Sunday.

heart of clay=unplowed ground.
Jeremiah 4:3 "Break up your unplowed ground"
brokeness softens the soil-->no longer clay :)
