Your Heart Might Be Out of Alignment If... Jonah 4 Your heart may be out of alignment if you can’t celebrate God’s extravagant and unconditional love toward others. “Following both the Bible and the early church, Christians will be committed to racial justice and the poor but also to the understanding that sex is only for marriage. One of those views seems liberal and the other looks oppressively conservative. Christians’ positions on social issues, then, do not fit into contemporary political alignments” (Timothy Keller, The Prodigal Prophet, 167–68). Your heart may be out of alignment if you quickly throw a pity party when things don’t go your way. Your heart may be out of alignment if you value creaturely comforts more than people. Your heart may be out of alignment if you still fail to grasp God’s grace toward you, despite yourself. “If you were a hundred times worse than you are, your sins would be no match for his mercy” (Timothy Keller, The Prodigal Prophet, 211). Your heart may be out of alignment if you find yourself preaching to the city but failing to love the city.
