Proverbs: Matters of Heart (Part 2)

ProverbsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg's discussion on the matters of the heart continues in this segment, focusing on the correlation between moral behavior and mental illness. According to Gregg, when people behave in a particular way, it is not a mere metaphorical reference to a sick heart, but rather a literal illness of the mind. He emphasizes the importance of moral responsibility and choices based on the goodness or evil in one's heart. While medication can be a temporary solution to chemical imbalances, Gregg argues that addressing the root cause through spiritual healing is the key to permanent relief.
