Contrasting the Head and Heart Enlightenment culture and the pride of man have over-emphasized the mind. The mind is a gateway all thoughts have to pass through it but the heart is the seat of power and controls the deep issues of life. Who reigns in your heart Satan, self, or Jesus? Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts… Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Consider these differences between the head and the heart: what the head does is vital and necessary; what the heart can do is sublime! | HEAD | HEART | Knowledge, facts
