Title: Heart Disease
Author: Stephen Whitney
Text: Jeremiah 17:9-10
In 1937 before the now-famous crime-fighters Captain Marvel, Superman, and Batman, there was a popular radio show called:
The Shadow which ran until 1954. In the words of the announcer,
it was, "the hard and relentless fight of one man against the forces

Thomas Watson - "Let original sin make us walk with continual
watchfulness over our hearts. The sin of our nature is like a
sleeping lion, the least thing that awakens it makes it rage.
A wandering heart needs a watchful eye."

Genesis 6:5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was
great in the earth and that evert intention of the thoughts
of his heart was only evil continually.
