Matthew 15:17-19 “Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is eliminated? But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those define the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murderers, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnesses, slanders. These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”

Ananias and Sapphira Ananias and Sapphira Got together to conspire, A plot, to cheat the Lord and get ahead. They knew God’s power and didn’t fear it, Tried to cheat the Holy Spirit, Went into the temple And they both dropped dead. Hey! God loves a cheerful giver, Give it all you got! He loves to hear you laughing, When you’re in an awful spot.

Ananias and Sapphira So when the odds are up against you, And you cannot do a thing, Praise God! To praise Him is a glorious thing!

Conclusion and Summary: Brethren and friend, it’s time to remove the masks. Ananias and Sapphira leave us a vivid warning from our God. He will not be fooled!
