Its the heart that matters is why the renowned mega pastor allowed the ladies of his church dress skimpy and shabily and then sorrounds himself with them

Its the heart that matters is why he falls in adultery with them and have a scam about his marriage all over social media

Mtcheew. If its only the heart dat matters why did Jesus not choose at least some females as part of his disciples or does it mean God can't use a woman? No! Jesus was treading with caution in spite of his huge anointing.

Jesus said "flee fornication". He also said "flee from all appearances of evil" he didn't say wait until the evil itself shows up..just at the site of the appearance alone we should flee. He said guard ur heart diligently and work out ur salvation with fear and trembling.

If ur heart is d master of all situation then u won't need guard it with with fear.

the bible says; the heart is deceitful and extremely wicked. When you are living in sin or worldly behaviour and still says its the heart that matters, you have already judge yourself. Finally the bible says; let us judge ourselves before we are judged. Heaven and hell is real.

kennygee: For example. There is this woman close to my house who attends a big charismatic church.

She doesn't perm her hair, carry hair extensions, wear trousers (the typical deeper life look). She is even on low cut. She is a neighbour to a Muslim ( shops are beside each other).

But this woman is diabolical and troublesome. One Sunday, she came back from Church, dropper her bible in her shop and came to jack her neighbour on the neck ( obviously they had issues).

People passing were like " and this woman calls herself a Christian?"

In that case, my dear, no be by appearance but the honest state of your heart in the issues that relate to God.
What is even more important is how God sees you, how God sees the relationship you have with Him.
the honest state of the heart matters maybe, I wonder how God sees those that do all the things mentioned by the Op, and I wonder what kinda relationship they have with Him.

cbrass: Most times I get confused and amused at the folly by some self acclaimed christians.

1. A guy just finished fornication or masturbating and he will say "ITS YOUR HEART THAT MATTERS"

2. A lady dress so skimpy, infact you can see through her dress, but if you challenge her on this she will say "ITS YOuR HEART THAT MATTERS"

3. Most church choirs have suddenly get tired of singing the original christian hymns hence they convert world songs and beats and sing it in church to the point that fuji music as been branded to Gopsel-Fuji, if you challenge them they will say "ITS YOUR HEART THAT MATTERS"

4. To round it all, a pastor caught in adultery ,when challenged will just say" WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE". That's after reminding you that "ITS YOUR HEART THAT MATTERS".
IT'S YOUR HEART THAT MATTERS means if your conscience tells you what you are doing is sin stop doing it
the only things that are sin from what you have mentioned are a guy commiting fornication in no1. and the pastor commiting adultery in no 4

Christianity is 100% brokeness. That's what christ taught his disciples. If you can't forgo anything for Christ, you are nt ready yet. Sometimes, you have to forgo your personal ambitions and dreams, your desires and personality. God bless.

What they mean by using the phrase, "Its your heart that matters", whenever they're about to commit a crime and their subconscious mind or basic self tells them what they're about doing is wrong, for them not to feel guilty of their misdeeds, they rather use the phrase, "Its your heart that matters". Its shows how hypocritical they can be.

Christains are hypocrites.

It is a lame phrase they hear and have learnt to use when the illogicality or the pure stupidity of their belief is exposed.

Some of them love to lie to themselves rather than use their brain and acknowledge these illogicalities/stupidities.

"You are going to a church where it is obvious the founder/your pastor is a conman using the money your supposedly donated to God to live an ostentatious and extravagant life, and you feel that is sensible?"

[Saga imitates a reetard] "Oh, it does not matter. It is your personal relationship with God that matters".

Nothing wrong with this abeg. What the hell is ''World songs'' ? As if all songs and hymns are not of the world in the first place.
Re: What Do Christians Mean By "Its Your Heart That Matters" by Nobody: 7:48am On Sep 07, 2014
cbrass

The four examples you have given are wrong applications of the phrase "it's your heart that matters".

A person who just committed fornication knew in his heart what he was about to do. A lady wearing a skimpy dress (when she has less skimpy options) knows in her heart what she is doing. In both examples, the actions are a true reflection of their hearts, which God will judge them by.

A more appropriate application of the phrase is this:

A man finds a #1000 recharge card on the seat in the bus. Thinking it fell from his pocket, he picks it up and later uses it to topup his phone. When he gets home, he realises that his own #1000 recharge card is still inside his wallet, where he'd earlier kept it. In this case,the man could be accused of 'stealing' the recharge card that he found in the bus but in reality, he is innocent because he used that card genuinely believing it was his.

It is not what some christains or fooli!sh pastors says that we are going to hold unto, it is what the word of God says that we are going to hold unto.

"what matters is ur heart" is a deception from the devil, a statement from the pit of hell

so many christain and pastor are deceiving themselves that it is the heart that matters forgetting that it is the way we dress, behave or what we portray determines the intention of our heart.

Romans 12:1 says; i beseech u therefore brethren, by the mercies of God that ye present ur bodies a living sacrifices, holy, acceptable unto God, which is ur reasonable service.

Note that word "body" and not " heart"

if ur heart and thought is evil, it will be manifested in ur dressing, action or behavior.

It is not only the heart that matter , ur body also matters.

Last year in school, my former roommate who was an ursher in church and also the assistant ladies wing coordinator had a misunderstanding with my other roommate and she kept malice with her for over 2 weeks. Infact till we vacated, she wasn't talking to her.

Hypocrisy is the order of the day for most Christains these days (Not saying I'm perfect though).
