The Heart of the Matter

The point of guardrails is to light up our consciences before we hurt ourselves or other people. They prompt us to feel uneasy before it’s too late. Solomon, the second king of Israel and considered in ancient times the wisest person who ever lived, wrote this in the Old Testament book of Proverbs: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (Proverbs 4:23).
