Rev. Matt Miller (Revelation 2:12-17) In a world full of distractions, maintaining our focus can be a challenge. We want to grow in love and faith for God but are often like the church in Pergamon, distracted. Through repentance and rejoicing, we can live the full life God offers.

Distraction is nearly unidentifiable in the moment, but it has incredibly far reaching consequences. It looks different for different people, but it has the same result - it pulls you away from what is important.While distraction shows itself in a lot of different way, I want to focus on four signs of a Distracted Heart, and then look at what we can do about it. We are usually battling against distractions in our personal lives because it can help us avoid folding our laundry or fixing that leaky faucet that needs to get addressed. These all apply in that space, but I want to look at these from the perspective of our jobs. How does distraction express itself at work, and how should we respond?1. The distraction of interruption2. The distraction of talk.Proverbs 14:23In all labor there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.3. The distraction of things.Proverbs 12:11He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.4. The distraction of pursuits.Proverbs 28:19He who tills his land will have plenty of food, but he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty.Does any of this sound familiar? Can you see any of this fruit in your life? In a way, I want to encourage you that it probably will at some point. And really, the good news is that these things can change.If this is where you find yourself, it doesn’t mean you are stuck here forever. Here are some things that can help you check your heart.1. Focus on GodIdentify God in the little things in life. If the weather is nice, thank Him for it. If you are enjoying your cup of coffee or tea, thank Him for it. If you see something beautiful, thank Him for it. When we see God evident in the things we see every day in life, we train ourselves to bring Him into every decision. 2. Focus on peoplePut your phone away. Leave it on your desk. Set it on the counter when you get home. Choose to leave it in your purse or pocket. Don’t allow something to step in between you and the other human beings around you. 3. Remember that you can’t change hearts.Often distraction stems from a misunderstanding that we can actually change the human heart. When you understand that God is who can harden or soften the heart, you begin to see early “solutions” as potential distractions.Call it out. “While this may be good, it is not required for God to move”.4. Be successful with what you already have.Do you really need anything different to be successful? What if you budget was cut 10% next year. Would you have to shut your doors? Probably not. In fact, I believe that your ministry might actually get better. You have less money to spend on things that distract you from actually engaging in ministry.5. UnplugFight against distractions. Leave your phone on the counter when you get home. Put it in your bag at work. Mute notifications. Don’t wear a smartwatch. Do whatever you need to to keep focusing on the things that are important.Protect time on your calendar.Work in a different location sometimes. Ask others to cover you while you hide.6. Pray before you act7. Remember the missionAt the end of the day, you can’t forget the mission of the organization that you were hired to serve. Your job is to help accomplish that mission. Remember it. Read it again. Go ask your boss why you are there. Talk to the one in charge of it all. Talk to people whose lives have changed in part because of your organization’s work. Remember why you are there and focus on it.

Do you have an honest heart ? Deuteronomy 6:5 “ Love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your strength Why the HEART ? Seat of affection….it’s where our desires, our motives and intentions come from innermost part of you, control center of your being …its what drives the will What’s God say about our hearts ? He searches them “ The LORD searches our hearts” Jer 17:10 Our hearts are deceitful ” The heart is deceitful and wicked” Jer 17:9 Our hearts defile us “ out of the heart come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, envy, arrogance and foolishness Mark 7:21 It’s with heart we believe “ its with the heart you believe ..are justified” Rom 10:10 Mark 4:1-9 The Parable of the Sower Lessons of the heart from the Sowers Parable 1/ Ability to comprehend spiritual truth is a gift from God Willful blindness and rebellion of heart will prevent us from even hearing what God is saying 2./ The seed is the WORD of God, The Sower is the LORD, The Soil is our hearts Every time we hear the WORD we are accountable There is a response, … even if we ignore what God is saying 3./ There are 4 kinds of HEARERS …with 4 different hearts Hard Heart …the hard packed foot path the wayside - (Satan takes away the seed) Shallow Heart…a little soil on the surface …underneath is rocky ground – (no root, …false profession) Distracted Heart …seed fell among thorns, grew up and choked the word – (cares, pursuits, lust of things) Honest Heart … good soil ready to listen and receive God’s truth – ( genuine, honest , contrite ) Practical Questions from the Parable What are the desires of my heart ? Am I shallow in my convictions? Am I distracted by the cares of the age, the lust of many things ? Is my hearing dull ? Or am I spiritually deaf ? … so that I don’t hear what God is saying to me ? DO I HAVE AN HONEST HEART ? Have I believed God ? Repented of my sin ? Turned to God with all my heart ? Isaiah 57:15 / Isaiah 66:2

  This is the final episode in our 5-Part Series on protecting and caring for the heart. There are 5 diagnoses that come from not protecting and caring for your heart and soul. They all originate from a Dis-eased Heart.  Losing your ease at a heart level, is what I call a DIS-EASED HEART. From there the heart becomes deceived, which leads to a discouraged, distracted, disengaged, and ultimately, divorced heart. Whether you ever experience divorce or not. Locating and diagnosing your heart before it progresses to the next phase of dis-ease is vital. In order to do so, we must acknowledge, honor, protect, and care for our H.E.A.R.T. 1. Hope.  We spoke about this in Part 1: EPISODE 422. If you don't get your hopes up and connect with your heart — beliefs, desires, and trust, you'll suffer from a Divorced Heart. 2. Engagement. We spoke about this in Part 2: EPISODE 423. If you don't fully engage with your heart, you'll suffer from a Disengaged Heart. Left uncared for, it can become a Divorced Heart. 3. Awareness. We spoke about this is Part 3: EPISODE 424. If you don't become aware, you'll suffer from a Distracted Heart. Left uncared for, it becomes a Disengaged Heart. 4. Remember. We spoke about this is Part 4: EPISODE 425. If you don’t, it’s easy to experience a Discouraged Heart. Left uncared for, it becomes a Distracted Heart. 5. Truth. "If it can’t be interpreted at least 2 different ways, it’s probably not true." That's right, there are more ways than one to interpret truth. If you're not living in freedom, then you have yet to discover the truth. Perhaps it's time to take another look. Trust is being able to put our hope in truth. Who (and what) do you trust? Do you trust yourself? If you don't trust yourself, you'll end up trusting others who may not be trustworthy. I learned that a trustworthy equation for trust is as follows: 1. Trust God. 2. Trust Myself. 3. Trust others that are trustworthy. If you get these out of order, you'll find yourself trusting the wrong people. This will cause you to second-guess yourself, and lose trust in yourself. You'll then begin to see yourself as no longer trustworthy. Thus, you'll become untrustworthy. It's a vicious, deceptive cycle. When the truth is, you MUST trust yourself to be able to wisely trust others...as well as YOURSELF. Got it? A Deceived Heart is a Cheating Heart... Please don't cheat on YOU and YOUR TRUTH. STAY TRUE TO YOU. It's time to diagnose your heart. Uncover and discover the TRUTH, and live in freedom. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E.

Engagement. 3. Awareness. How self aware are you? Do you know what you know? Do you know YOU, and the true nature of your heart and soul? Engage with what you know, and what you know will grow. You’ll grow. If not, you may find yourself suffering from a DISTRACTED heart. How close are you to your heart? Perhaps you’ve distanced yourself from it… It’s time to consciously live and love with your heart. What does protecting your heart look like? Being close to your heart…consciously aware of it…and focusing on it with your love and attention. Why? Because you care. What you truly care about, you’ll care for. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L.
