“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
Jeremiah 17:9
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Mark 7:21-23
WALKING BY FAITH 
Thanks, Crissy! Yeah, Disney and such like feed us what we would like to think we are (i.e. most people are basically “good”) while God’s Word gives it to us straight up!

To answer your question on my blog: My Lord’s Day went well! Preached at my church, then helped decorate a little bit afterwards for VBS, then went to another church to preach then a Father’s Day dinner. Is there Father’s Day this Sunday in Australia?
