In this sermon The Daughters of the Horseleach, Inside of this young man is the picture of a generation of men who had the discipline but did not have desire to accompany their efforts. Inside of this young man were some hidden keys that once found could have unlocked the doors of greatness.
Inside of every man are four separate entities of desire, the four heartbeats of desire. They have the capacity to make or break. There comes a time in the life of a man where he must face down these four forces. If that man fails in his response to the four, then he does as the rich young ruler. He'll leave downcast and grieved because the wealth of possessions are considered more valuable than the cost of the Cross. If that man gleans the victory in his response to the four, then from that point on the equations that life presents are but small obstacles that he must overcome. Desire tempered by discipline causes one to rise above all limitations. Inside of every man there is a grave, and there is a barren womb. There is a tract of land, and there is a fire that will burn until life ebbs out of the body.
