COMMANDMENT CONCEPTS The eart: The Nucleus of the Spirit By BOB WILLIAMS emember the Tin Woodsman in the Wizard of Oz? Think back to him clanking down the yellow brick road with the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy and Toto too. Like his companions, the Tin Man was trekking to the Emerald City hoping that the resident wizard there would grant him an important personal need. The Scarecrow wanted a brain. The Cowardly Lion longed for courage. Dorothy simply wanted a return trip to Kansas. Somewhere amidst fragment- ed strains of Follow the Yellow Brick Roadn and recollections of random munchkin melo- dies, I'll bet you can hear the Tin Man squea- kily singing, . . . If I only had a heart. If your memory continues to serve you well, perhaps you will also recall how proud the Tin Woodsman was of the heart-shaped watch the Wizard eventually hung around his neck - the symbol of the Tin IVIan's new- found heart. I dare say that most everyone could bene- fit from a quest similar to that of the Tin Woodsman - a sincere pursuit of the heart. It is essential for us to understand the charac- teristics and the implications of this particular aspect of our being so we know exactly what is expected of us when the Lord Jesus bids us love Him with our whole hearts. Of course, here we are referring to a manls heart as an immaterial, spiritual dimension of his being, not the literal cardiac organ. In our society, it's not especially easy to get a han- dle onthe spiritual essence of the term heart, because it has become such an emotional catch-all word. We hear much about the heart, but do we really grasp the depth of the concept? Modern popular music would tell us that our hearts may belong to daddy, that they can be left in San Francisco, and that they might even be found hot-rodding out on the boulevard, bound perhaps for i'Heart- break Hotel. Drama and literature also em- body similar confusing references. For many, an understanding of the heart does not ex- tend beyond a Valentine's Day card mental- ity. A careful study of Scripture can provide us with a larger frame of reference. Consider Psalm 139:23-24: Search me O God, and Jim Young lleftl and Susan Madden frightl demonstrat know my heart, try me and know my anxious thoughts, and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way. Or Proverbs 4:23: Watch over your heart with all diligence for from it flow the springs of life. These verses and others like them use the term heart to describe the very core of one's being. Components of the Heart The Bible deliniates some specific func- tions of the heart. For instance, the heart is the seat of our motives and intentions, be they genuine or alterior. As Jeremiah 17:9- 1O reads, The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick, Who can un- derstand it? 'I the Lord search the heart, I test the mind, even to each man according to ed motivated hearts on the Day of Prayer Park Project, his ways.' 'f It's apparent that our rational, logical abili- ties are also affected by our hearts. Solomon prayed asking the Lord for an understand- ing heart to judge Thy people to discern be- tween good and evil' II Kings 3:9l. Perhaps the most dominant aspect of the heart is its emotional influence. As I men- tioned above, many have an isolated compre- hension of the heart, confined to this dimen- sion of emotions. I Chronicles 16:10 pro- claims, i'Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad. In Jeremiah 11:20 the proph- et appeals to God as The Lord of hosts who judges righteously, who tries the feelings of the heart. Since the common denominators of the heart are motives - catalysts which trigger intellectual responses - which are in turn 6
