The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "Heart Work" by A.W. Pink

As well might a poor man expect to be rich in this world without industry, or a weak man to become strong and healthy without food and exercise, as a Christian to be rich in faith and strong in the Lord without earnest endeavour and diligent effort. It is true that all our labours amount to nothing unless the Lord blesses them (Psalm 127:1), as it also is that apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). Nevertheless, God places no premium upon sloth, and has promised that “the soul of the diligent shall be made fat” (Prov. 13:4). A farmer may be fully persuaded of his own helplessness to make his fields productive, he may realize that their fertility is dependent upon the sovereign will of God, and he may also be a firm believer in the efficacy of prayer; but unless he discharges his own duty his barns will be empty. So it is spiritually.

One of the unfortunately neglected aspects of the Christian life is that of attending to one's heart. We, especially within Reformed circles, labor to be faithful in doctrine, which is certainly a good thing and most necessary. However, if our lives are not being transformed by the truth of God's written Word, then our knowledge is and will be of little or no consequence. So, how is a believer to tend to our souls and to walk uprightly? This month's Article of the Month by Arthur Pink will be of great help in instructing us in this sober subject.
