What are you eating? I don’t mean right now, though maybe you are just sitting down to breakfast, or dinner, and that answer is literally on the tip of your tongue! I know for me, summertime means cleaner eating. Fresher foods are available, and we try to take advantage of them. The local farmers markets and friends with gardens certainly help.

While healthy eating is important, Jesus said that what comes out of our mouth is even more important! In Mark 7:21-22, he lists the things that come from within, and it’s not a pretty list. Check it out for yourself and see if there’s anything you think he missed. He ends the conversation by saying this in verse 23 “All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

So, are we hopeless then? Basically, yes! Without the work of Christ, Ephesians 2:12 says we are “…without hope and without God in the world.”

As you are out and about this summer, pay attention to the people around you. Friends, family, and others you know who are indeed “without hope” because they do not have a relationship with God. Take the time to introduce them to the one who changed YOUR life.
