Heart ...and mind.

Christianity is clearly about the heart -- the deepest you, the spirit, the command center of human personality. Contemporary Christianity has badly missed this. However, I've seen a disturbing trend. Those of us who talk about the heart can neglect the place of the mind in apprenticeship to Jesus -- or even forget that, "You can been given the mind of Christ."
Heart and mind work together. Both come under the transforming renewal of Christ's work for us.
We must not vilify the Christian mind, particularly because it, too, has come under the restoring work of Christ.
Have you noticed this as well? Do you agree?
