X-ray Your Heart You would flare up in wrath if some mere man were to tell you. Then we let God say—Say he—“The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked —BIBLE. And from the heart flows sins aplenty, for from the lower nature comes impurity, in­ decency, strife, jealously, anger, drunkenness, murder and all the rest listed in Galatians 5:19-21. NEW BIRTH — No wonder Christ said—You must be born again. So it is that when you trust your life over to Him as the Saviour who died for you, He gives you new birth into eternal life. Also He waits to bring you His harvest of Love, Joy, Peace, Fidelity, Self-control and the rest listed in Gal. 5:22-23. OF HARVEST — Hear the Til­ lamook county believer who sur­ rendered life, talents and all. Years after came this—“I sur­ rendered and the old ways began to fall off like dead leaves.” And as a saved soul, may you also have Christ for Victory.
