Good morning. As proverbs
says: watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of
life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put devious lips far from you.
Jesus said from out of your heart comes these deceitful things. Out of the
heart the mouth speaks. And James asks: how can good and bad things come out of
the same mouth? What our heart dwells on will eventually come out of our mouths
and our lives. If you deceive others, you will also be deceived. As we've said
before: let your eyes look directly ahead, and your gaze be fixed straight in
front of you. Watch the path of your feet, and all your ways will be
established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; turn your foot from
evil. It's up to us. You can't dance with the devil without getting burned.
It's not called the straight and narrow path for nothing. How can we keep on
the straight and narrow path and not have devious lips - keep God's words and
treasure His commandments within you. Keep His commandments and live, and His
teaching as the apple of your eye. God's word must be first and foremost in our
lives. We must treasure it in our hearts. Then we won't have harmful things
coming out of our mouths and our paths will be straight. Father thank You that
You keep the reader's heart fixed on Your words. You keep his/her paths
straight.

Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
