You are what you think

• Mark 714-23
• 14Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said,
  Listen to me, everyone, and understand this.
  15Nothing outside a man can make him unclean by
  going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a
  man that makes him unclean.
• 17After he had left the crowd and entered the
  house, his disciples asked him about this
  parable. 18Are you so dull? he asked. Dont
  you see that nothing that enters a man from the
  outside can make him unclean? 19For it doesnt
  go into his heart but into his stomach, and then
  out of his body. (In saying this, Jesus declared
  all foods clean.)
• 20He went on What comes out of a man is what
  makes him unclean. 21For from within, out of
  mens hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual
  immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22greed,
  malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander,
  arrogance and folly. 23All these evils come from
  inside and make a man unclean.

  is hidden from Gods sight. Everything is
  uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to
  whom we must give account.

16
