Today in the world you can find a gamut of problems. All you have to do is watch reality T.V. or sports games to identify the anger and behavioral problems of today. Of course the list goes on with lying, cheating, stealing and then some in all parts of our world today. “Human beings, all over the world have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and cannot really get rid of it.”[1] Therefore, these behaviors are sought to be cured. It is interesting that Psychology identifies itself as having a solution for many of these problems or what they would call disorders. However, their solutions are usually medication with a short lived plan.

Naturally, one can not deny that there are problems, but what is the root of these problems? What is it that causes us to lash out at people, lie to others or cheat in our business life?

The problem is that that we desire to serve ourselves and not the one true God. People crave to serve their own desires or label them as disorders instead of claiming to the truth that it is their sinful heart inside of themselves that is leading. People since the beginning of time have always wanted to blame others.

Nevertheless, “there must be a universal solution, if there is a universal problem”[2]. The solution is a heart transplant, not one from a medical doctor, but from God through Jesus Christ.

Have you had a heart transplant? The answers for life and godliness have been given to you through the Bible. Are you seeking solutions to survive in this life or the solutions that will make you thrive even through eternity?

“Cast away from you all your transgressions which you have committed and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit.” Ezekiel 18:31
