The Beauty of a Heaven-Fixed Mind

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/04

Nathaniel Ranew’s "Solitude Improved by Divine Meditation" reminds us that peace comes when the soul looks heavenward. In this episode, we explore the beauty of a mind fixed on eternal things — a heart that retreats from the world’s noise to commune with God. Meditation on the glory of Christ and the promises of Scripture leaves the fragrance of heaven on our souls. When our minds dwell above, we walk through this world with greater strength, clarity, and joy.

The Reward of a Holy Life

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/03

In this episode, we reflect on John Reynolds’s "The Triumph of Godliness" and the joy that holiness brings to the believer. Godliness is not a burden but a blessing — the path of peace in this life and the promise of glory in the next. The world may scorn holiness, but only the godly truly know happiness. Each act of obedience carries its own reward: a clear conscience, a joyful heart, and the smile of God.

A Spiritual War

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/31

William Gurnall’s “The Christian in Complete Armour” reminds us that every believer is a soldier in a spiritual war — but one armed with heaven’s own armor. In this episode, we explore the strength and sufficiency of God’s provision for His people: truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the Word. Victory belongs not to our power but to our Captain, Christ Jesus. Stand firm, take up your armor, and fight the good fight with courage and grace.

The Sweetness of Submission

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/30

In this episode, we meditate on Samuel Rutherford’s “Letters” and his tender reflections on submission to God’s providence. True peace is found not in having our way, but in trusting His. Every disappointment carries a message of love; every cross conceals a crown. To bow beneath the will of God is not defeat but liberty — the liberty of a soul at rest in a Father’s care.

The Crown of Humility

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/29

Thomas Brooks’ “The Unsearchable Riches of Christ” teaches that humility is the crown of grace and the fragrance of holiness. In this episode, we consider the beauty of the lowly heart — a heart that gives God all the glory and takes none for itself. The humble believer walks in peace, expects nothing yet rejoices in mercy, and delights to see Christ exalted above all. To lie low before God is not humiliation but honor, for it is the posture of those most near to His heart.

The Pilgrim’s Progress of the Soul

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/28

From John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” this episode captures the essence of the Christian journey — a pilgrimage from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. The road is narrow and often steep, yet it leads to glory. Along the way we meet trials, companions, and divine mercies that strengthen our faith. The pilgrim’s hope is not in the ease of the path but in the certainty of the destination, where every weary traveler will be welcomed home by the King.

Communion with God

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/27

In this episode, we reflect on John Owen’s “Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost” — a timeless meditation on the believer’s fellowship with the Triune God. Communion with God is not a momentary experience but a continual exchange of divine love and human devotion. When we walk closely with Him, every duty becomes delight and every moment sacred. This is the heart of the Christian life: to live daily in the joy of God’s presence.

The Faithfulness of God to His People

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/24

Obadiah Sedgwick’s "The Bowels of Tender Mercy Sealed in the Everlasting Covenant" reminds us that God’s faithfulness is the believer’s anchor. His covenant love does not waver with our weakness, for it rests on His own unchanging character. In this episode, we rejoice in a God who keeps His promises, perfects His work, and preserves His people. The covenant that began in mercy will end in glory.

Strength for the Weary Pilgrim

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/23

In this episode, William Bridge’s "The Christian’s Means of Assurance" offers encouragement to the weary believer walking through life’s deserts. The journey to heaven may be hard, but the pilgrim is never alone. Christ walks beside His own, sustaining weak faith and renewing weary hearts. We learn that true assurance rests not in the strength of our grip on Christ, but in the strength of His grip on us.

The Beauty of a Godward Life

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/22

William Ames reminds us in "Conscience with the Power and Cases Thereof" that the whole of life is sacred when lived unto God. Every task, when done in faith and love, becomes worship. This episode calls us to bring our faith into the ordinary — to study, work, serve, and rest for God’s glory. The beauty of a Godward life is found in its wholeness: a conscience ruled by Scripture, a heart centered on Christ, and a life poured out as a living sacrifice of love.

Christ’s Heart in Heaven Toward His People

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/21

Thomas Goodwin’s "The Heart of Christ in Heaven Toward Sinners on Earth" reveals the unchanging tenderness of Jesus toward His people. Exalted in glory, Christ’s heart still beats with compassion for those He redeemed. He intercedes continually, bears our names before the Father, and meets our weakness with mercy. In this episode, we rest in the truth that the same heart that bled for us on earth now pleads for us in heaven — full of love, full of power, and full of grace.

The Comfort of God’s Chastening

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/20

In this episode, we draw from Thomas Case’s "A Treatise of Afflictions" to discover the mercy hidden within God’s discipline. Every trial is a classroom where the Father teaches grace, patience, and holiness. The hand that afflicts is the same hand that upholds, measuring every sorrow with perfect love. This reflection invites believers to see chastening not as punishment, but as a refining fire by which God shapes His children for glory.

The Sure Mercies of God

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/17

Thomas Brooks’ "Heaven on Earth" assures believers of the unchanging mercy of God. His mercies are ever new. In this episode, we rejoice in the mercy that forgives, upholds, and restores. When guilt whispers or trials roar, remember that His compassion never fails. Rest in the certainty that you are held not by your merit, but by His steadfast mercy and everlasting covenant.

Fervent Prayer

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/16

In this episode, we reflect on Samuel Annesley’s "A Morning Exercise at Cripplegate" and the transforming power of fervent prayer. True prayer is the soul’s breath and the pulse of spiritual life. Cold prayers freeze before they reach heaven, but those ignited by faith and love prevail with God. Here we’re reminded that prayer is not a mere duty but the believer’s lifeline. Where weakness finds strength and communion with God brings joy and power.

The Danger of a Divided Heart

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/15

Robert Bolton’s "Instructions for a Right Comforting of Afflicted Consciences" warns against the peril of a divided heart torn between God and the world. In this episode, we consider the restlessness of half-hearted religion and the joy of full devotion to Christ. God desires an undivided heart, wholly His. Discover how unity of heart brings strength, peace, and purpose as you surrender every affection to the Lord who alone can satisfy.

A Godly Conscience

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/14

Drawing from Richard Greenham’s "Treatise of the Conscience," this episode explores the blessing of a tender, Spirit-guided conscience. A conscience illuminated by the Word and cleansed by the blood of Christ is one of life’s greatest treasures. It brings peace, humility, and joy. Learn how to guard your conscience from dullness, keep it sensitive to sin, and walk daily in the quiet strength of a clear heart before God and man.

God Cares for You

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/13

In this episode, we turn to John Flavel’s "The Mystery of Providence" to find comfort in the sovereign care of God. Every joy and sorrow, every step and delay, unfolds under His wise and loving hand. Though His purposes are often hidden, they are never random. This is a call to trust when you cannot trace, to rest in His character when you cannot see His plan, and to believe that every thread of your story is woven by the same faithful hand that guides the stars.

The Church's Glory Is Her Purity

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/10

John Cotton’s "The Way of the Churches of Christ in New England" reminds us that the true glory of the church lies not in her size or splendor, but in her purity and faithfulness to Christ. In this episode, we reflect on the beauty of a holy church—one that holds fast to sound doctrine, practices humble obedience, and shines brightly in a dark world. Christ delights to dwell where His people walk in truth and holiness.

The Joy of Communion with God

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/09

From George Swinnock’s "The Christian Man’s Calling," we consider the believer’s greatest joy — communion with God. In this episode, we reflect on how fellowship with God sweetens every sorrow, sanctifies every joy, and transforms daily life into worship. To draw near to God is to taste heaven on earth. Make space for His presence, and you will find the joy that the world can neither give nor take away.

The Life of God in the Soul of Man

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/08

Henry Scougal reminds us that true Christianity is not external ceremony but “the life of God in the soul of man.” This episode explores what it means to share in the divine life through faith in Christ. A life that transforms duty into delight, turns sin bitter, and fills the heart with love for God. Such a life, born of the Spirit, endures forever and lifts the believer above the world into communion with the living God.
