Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'heart of stone'?

A heart of stone is one that is hardened to God — unresponsive to His voice, unmoved by His love, resistant to change. It results from repeated disobedience, unhealed wounds, or prolonged distance from God. But no heart is too hard for God to transform.

How do I know if I have a new heart?

New desires, new sensitivity to sin, love for God's Word, compassion for others, and a hunger for righteousness are all evidence of a new heart. If you grieve when you sin and rejoice when God is glorified, the new heart is at work.
