New Heart Nation Issue 1 | Page 3

INTRODUCTION wHAT!? Welcome to this first issue of New Heart Nation. I’m excited that you have read this far and taken the time to peruse the often boring and tedious second page where the magazine editor writes for too long on what the magazine is about in the hope that you’ll keep reading it. Even now you may have reserves as your precious time is wasting away reading about a magazine you opened with intentions of reading in the first place.. so I’ll stop. BUT before you flick through the following wisdom-filled pages allow me to quote to you from an ancient book I came across some years ago that changed my life. The author of this section, Ezekiel, wrote something rather important on behalf of God Himself. new heart “A also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.” We, who are unapologetically bent on pursuing life from that new heart promise, thought Ezekiel’s words sounded like a really good deal. And it’s our bigger hope that this significant nation of Australia will experience this very same phenomenon David Tensen Page 3
