The Human Heart | What Defiles A Person
Shared on: Aug 23, 2021
Jesus clearly teaches both the Pharisees and us today that what defiles a person is not what they put into the body, but what flows out of the body from the heart. For from the heart flow all kinds of evil such as: evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. Teach your congregation to make sure the inside of their hearts is washed before they worry about the outside of their cup.
