Garbage In = Garbage Out

...let's make a clean break with everything that defiles or distracts us, both within and without. Let's make our entire lives fit and holy temples for the worship of God.
-2 Corinthians 7:1, The Message

Paul (use to be Saul, who killed Christians and then had his life transformed by Jesus) wrote this to the Corinthians (people who lived in a town called Corinth).

What is going into your mind and spirit everyday? Is it going to help your relationship with Christ GROW, or is it putting a gap between you and Christ?

Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. -1 John 2:15, The Message

Lord, show us areas in our life that we need to change and give us a desire for things that are pleasing to You. Thank you for your forgiveness when we make mistakes.
