Ephesians 4:20-24

John the Baptist said to repent and make the crooked roads in your heart straight to be able to receive Jesus Christ in your heart. What you are going to eat, your menu for the day, should transform into a menu of God’s work. Start being concerned about God, His business, His Church, His Kingdom, and the hereafter.
