My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.” Ezekiel 11:19-20 – “I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. 20 Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God.” Psalm 86:11 – “Teach me your way, LORD, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.” Revelation 2:23 – “Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.” James 1:22–27, 2:1–24, 3:13–18, 4:1–6 Revelation 2:1-7, 3:1–6, 3:14–22
