Is Thy Heart Right With God?
2
Acts 818-24

• 18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on
  of the apostles hands the Holy Spirit was given,
  he offered them money, 19 saying, Give me this
  power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may
  receive the Holy Spirit. 20 But Peter said to
  him, Your money perish with you, because you
  thought that the gift of God could be purchased
  with money! 21 You have neither part nor portion
  in this matter, for your heart is not right in
  the sight of God.
• 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and
  pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may
  be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are
  poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.
  24 Then Simon answered and said, Pray to the
  Lord for me, that none of the things which you
  have spoken may come upon me.

  proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
