Defender Daily Devotion: Deep within our hearts

What if the real change in our community begins—not in the public square—but deep within our hearts, where God’s truth is already at work?

Pastor Brian Noble reflects on Romans 1:18–19, emphasizing that God’s truth is evident in everyone and that the state of our hearts directly influences the public square. He contrasts the wrath of God with Satan’s persecution, clarifying that God’s wrath targets ungodliness rather than the righteous. The main message is that humans knowingly suppress the truth, not out of ignorance, but out of resistance. Pastor Brian encourages listeners to think about how they help others embrace the truth God has placed within, share the gospel message, and build communities that honor God through transformed hearts and actions.

We are changing our hearts so we can change the public square. If you would like to start a public square ministry, explore these free resources - https://fpiw.org/public-square-ministry
