CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that we can live near to the heart of God or away from the heart of
God, near to the will of God or away from the will of God. And man
looketh on the outward appearance but God looketh on the heart. As a man
thinketh so is that man.

Sometimes it's like the scribes and the Pharisees that Jesus looked and
said you've washed the outside of the cup, you've whitewashed it, but
inside it's full of dead men's bones, rotten to the core, not what it
ought to be. And God wants us to stir up our pure minds in way of
remembrance.
