Many Christains today take their faith and its privileges for granted, Perhaps its it old adage "Familiarity breeds contempt". But Gentile Christians in particular should never lose sight of the grace shown them. Such as a covenant relationship with God, with all the blessings that accompany such a relationship which are now available to all who come to God with faith in Christ.

Sermon "The Source of True Defilement" Mark 7:14-23 June 26,2011a.m. by Michael Reed (Click to Listen)
From what Jesus taught His desciples, true defilement comes not from food, but from the heart. Man has a heart problem. The heart (mind) is a fountain out of which much that impacts life flows. (Prov 4:23) Affected by sin, it becomes deceitful and wicked. Thus the heart is a source of much evil that defiles man. From Christ and His apostles, we learn that all foods have been decleared clean when recieved with thanksgiving and when sanctified by prayer. Thus we learn where our true focus should be, removing that defilement from sinful hearts.
