00:00The real you will show up There's a place inside each of us that responds

00:11to good and evil.

00:13What it spends the most time with will ultimately expose what we really believe.

00:18The Bible calls this place the heart, the real you that spills over when it's full.

00:24The heart forms character.

00:26You could spend time with things that are true, honourable, just, pure, lovely, commendable,

00:32excellent, and worthy of praise.

00:34See Philippians 4 verse 8.

00:36Or hang out with things that lead to immorality, theft, murder, greed, malice, deceit, envy,

00:43slander, arrogance, and folly, see Mark 7 verse 22.

00:48The heart is as quick to nurture evil as it is good.

01:05Your words and actions are always servants of what the heart really believes.
