What Truly Defiles
Jesus called the people to him again. He said, "Every person
should listen to me and understand what I am saying. There is
nothing a person puts into his body that makes him wrong. A
person is made wrong by the things that come from him."
-- Mark 7:14-16 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Our words and our actions say it all, don't they! So let's take
seriously our use of language -- both what we say and how we say it.
Let's also look at our lives and see what our actions say about our
loyalty to God. We need to realize that our intentions matter for good
only if we follow through on them! Repentance that is not a change of
behavior, but only a change of heart, is not really repentance at all.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Bless me, LORD God Almighty, that by the power of your Spirit I can
change my behavior and my values to more perfectly reflect your
holiness, grace, mercy, and righteousness. In Jesus' name. Amen.
