Not done many quotes recently, so here's something slightly different from this mornings service.
Very apt I thought
This is the New International Version from Mark, Chapter 7
14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”
[16] [f] hang on where's verse 16 gone?
17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.
18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?
19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.
21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.
23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
Mr Davis. What's inside you and your cronies? The Devil himself?
Brought to you by the new Threshold album - March of Progress, and Mr. Davis, watch for the progress, I'm on a different tack, so look behind you :-)
