Mat 15 (KJV)
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
(MSG)
8 These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their heart isn't in it.
9 They act like they're worshiping me, but they don't mean it. They just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy."
10 He then called the crowd together and said, "Listen, and take this to heart.
11 It's not what you swallow that pollutes your life, but what you vomit up."

Please remember sharktrager's friend in your prayers - they received very, very bad news. And pray for Chris, undergoing chemotherapy.
Prayers for all, especially for those devasted by hurricane Frances, and those in the path of Hurricane Ivan, and for those in need. May the hand of God guide our paths, and the Spirit of the Lord be upon you. May God bless our leaders, our troops, our familes, and our country. May our Lord and Saviour use you to spread His Holy Word, and to bring Him honour and glory.
Please remember those in need in your prayers, and thank God for your families and friends.
I join in prayer for all of these.
