This document summarizes Andy Stanley's book "Enemies of the Heart" using a tabernacle diagram. It explains that the inner courts represent the soul and heart, with the altar of incense symbolizing the heart. The heart can be led by fleshly desires of guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy that block God's spirit, or by spiritual desires of confession, forgiveness, giving, and celebrating others that allow God's spirit to flow. Combating the fleshly desires defeats them and leads to a love-filled life governed by the spirit.
