The Great Campaign for the Human Heart Most of us have been told that God wants our obedience, our sacrifice, or our adherence to the right rules. But what if those are secondary to His primary pursuit? Drawing from the profound insights of John Eldredge’s The Sacred Romance, Bill Harper discusses the "cosmic crisis" of the human soul and the lengths to which a "jealous lover" will go to bring His beloved home. This message is a call to move beyond therapeutic contentment and religious duty into a wild, intimate connection with the Creator. -- God created humanity for intimacy, and when that intimacy was broken, He launched the greatest rescue mission in history. -- The incarnation was not just a theological event; it was a daring raid into enemy territory to pull us out of the dungeons of darkness. -- While conservative circles focus on morality and therapeutic circles focus on happiness, God is focused on your "heart of hearts." -- Isaiah 29:13 warns that we can perform all our religious duties while our hearts remain far from God. -- There is an invitation for men to rediscover their hearts through the "Wild at Heart" retreat hosted by Return to Glory Ministries. +++++++ Return to Glory Ministries hosts Wild at Heart men's retreats, and you can find more information at our website: http://rtgministries.org/
