Are you without understanding that you do not perceive that what enters you cannot defile you, but what comes out of you defiles you? Mark 7:18

My brothers and sisters in Christ, what it is that lies within you this morning that is threatening to defile you?  Out of the heart of man proceeds all kinds of evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, covetousness, thefts, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, jealousy, blasphemy, pride and foolish thoughts. All these comes from within us and defiles us. Scripture reminds us, that he who is well does not need a physician. But, are we well? No! We are all sick with the evils that lie within us. Do we what to be made well? My brothers and sisters in Christ, God does all things well. Will you join me this morning at the well, knowing that God already knows all that we are, and sees the evil that lies within us? God knows about our secret faults, God is able to create in us clean hearts and renew right spirits within us, God is able to say to us, “Thy sins be forgiven, go and sin no more.” Will you come to Jesus? Plead with me this morning. “Lord Jesus I long to be perfectly whole, I want thee forever to live in my soul, break down every idol, cast out every foe, Lord, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.” Thank you Lord!
