Mark 7:21

Do we really have all these choices or is there only one choice? Righteousness is not a choice but it is defined by God and his will, not by popular culture, media, and we cannot compromise and or flirt with evil.

Would it really be nice if we could really see what was on the inside of people — their hearts? Phil Ware challenges us to pursue the faithful love, righteous character, and gracious compassion of God from our hearts.
