And then he added, “It Is
The Thought-Life That Pollutes. For
from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts of lust, theft, murder,
adultery, wanting what belongs to others, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy,
slander, pride, and all other folly. All
these vile things come from within; they are what pollute you and make you
unfit for God.”
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Mark 7:1–24 (The Living Bible) 1 One day some Jewish religious leaders arrived from Jerusalem to investigate him, 2 and noticed that some of his disciples failed to follow the usual Jewish rituals before eating. 3 (For the Jews, especially the Pharisees, will never eat until they have sprinkled their arms to the elbows, as required by their ancient traditions. 4 So when they come home from the market, they must always sprinkle themselves in this way before touching any food. This is but one of many examples of laws and regulations they have clung to for centuries, and still follow, such as their ceremony of cleansing for pots, pans, and dishes.) 5 So the religious leaders asked him, “Why don’t your disciples follow our age-old customs? For they eat without first performing the washing ceremony.” 6 Jesus replied, “You bunch of hypocrites! Isaiah the prophet described you very well when he said, ‘These people speak very prettily about the Lord but they have no love for him at all. Their worship is a farce, for they claim that God commands the people to obey their petty rules.’ How right Isaiah was! 8 For you ignore God’s specific orders and substitute your own traditions. 9 You are simply rejecting God’s laws and trampling them under your feet for the sake of tradition. 10 “For instance, Moses gave you this law from God: ‘Honor your father and mother.’ And he said that anyone who speaks against his father or mother must die. 11 But you say it is perfectly all right for a man to disregard his needy parents, telling them, ‘Sorry, I can’t help you! For I have given to God what I could have given to you.’ 12 And so you break the law of God in order to protect your man-made tradition. And this is only one example. There are many, many others.” 14 Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “All of you listen,” he said, “and try to understand. 15 Your souls aren’t harmed by what you eat, but by what you think and say!” 17 Then he went into a house to get away from the crowds, and his disciples asked him what he meant by the statement he had just made. 18 “Don’t you understand either?” he asked. “Can’t you see that what you eat won’t harm your soul? 19 For food doesn’t come in contact with your heart, but only passes through the digestive system.” (By saying this he showed that every kind of food is kosher.) 20 And then he added, “It is the thought-life that pollutes. 21 For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts of lust, theft, murder, adultery, 22 wanting what belongs to others, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, pride, and all other folly. 23 All these vile things come from within; they are what pollute you and make you unfit for God.” 24 Then he left Galilee and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon, and tried to keep it a secret that he was there, but couldn’t. For as usual the news of his arrival spread fast.
Isaiah 29:13–17 (NASB95) 13 Then the Lord said, “Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their
lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for
Me consists of tradition learned by rote, 14
Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people,
wondrously marvelous; And the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the
discernment of their discerning men will be concealed.” 15 Woe to
those who deeply hide their plans from the Lord,
And whose deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, “Who sees us?”
or “Who knows us?” 16 You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal
with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”;
Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
Jeremiah 18:1–10 (The Living Bible) 1 Here is another message to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 Go
down to the shop where clay pots and jars are made, and I will talk to you
there. 3 I did as he told me and found the potter working at his
wheel. 4 But the jar that he was forming didn’t turn out as he
wished, so he kneaded it into a lump and started again. 5 Then the
Lord said: 6 O Israel, can’t
I do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s
hand, so are you in my hand. 7 Whenever I announce that a
certain nation or kingdom is to be taken up and destroyed, 8 then if
that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. 9
And if I announce that I will make a certain nation strong and great, 10
but then that nation changes its mind, turns to evil, and refuses to obey me,
then I, too, will change my mind and not bless that nation as I had said I
would.

Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16
For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told
you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been
eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and
glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him
a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight.” 18
we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that
sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more
certainly guaranteed. Please pay
attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until
the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because
you recognize this truth above all else, that
no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21
for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by
the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible)9 Yet it was because of this that God raised
him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other
name, 10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
