My Heart - Christ's Home - Almost 40 years ago, a tiny booklet was published called My Heart - Christ's Home by Robert Boyd Munger. It was based on Ephesians 3:16-17, "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in you inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith." Over the next several weeks, we will walk through each "room" in our hearts to allow Jesus to have lordship over every area.
- Transferring the Title - with Jesus "sweeping" each room of our hearts clean, may we simply transfer the title over to Him. Tell Him He can have all of you, warts and all, and that you surrender to His Lordship.
