It speaks of our integrity or deceit, love or anger, obedience or rebellion. While sin has caused our imperfections, we all have the core ingredients for faith and obedience to have a relationship with God. The Heart of the Bible walks the reader through the Old Testament to demonstrate how relationships with God either flourished or withered away based on acting--or not acting--on those core ingredients. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat do the actions of Cain and Abel, Ruth, Saul and David, and others teach us about the nature of the heart?
