     here:
	"For even though they knew God, they did not honor him as
         God, or give thanks: but they became futile in their
	speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.  
	Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged 
	the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form
	of corruptible man..........For they exchanged the truth of
	God for a lie.......being filled with all unrighteousness, 
	wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife,
        deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God
	insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient
	to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving,
	unmerciful; and, although they know the ordinance of God,
	that those who practice such things are worthy of death, 
	they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to
	those who practice them."   Romans 1:21-32   NASB

       "The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately
	sick; Who can understand it?"  Jeremiah 17:9  NASB

       "They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him,
	being detestable and disobedient, and worthless for any 
	good deed."  Titus 1:16  NASB

       "And He was saying, 'That which proceeds out of the man, that
	is what defiles the man.  For from within, out of the heart
	of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, 
	murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as
	well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, and 
	foolishness.  All these evil things proceed from within and
	defile the man.'"  Mark 7:20-23  NASB
            
       "For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful,
	arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, 
	unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without
	self control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless,
	conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
	holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied
	its power; and avoid such men as these."  2 Timothy 3:2-5

       "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are
	like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear
	beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and
	all uncleanness.  Even so you too outwardly appear righteous
	to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and
	lawlessness."  Matt 23:27-28  NASB

       "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on
	the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his 
	heart was only evil continually.  And the Lord was sorry
	that he had made man on the earth, and he was greived in 
	His heart."  Genesis 6:5-6  NASB

                        Just telling it like it is,
                                                 Matt
                                            sdcc3!sdcc13!st175
p.s. it's like an old pastor I
     know once said, "Son, stick
     to the book!"
