Read Proverbs 20:11 Do you have a kid who preaches at your church?  Probably not.  You may have preached at Master Club competition, but you don't have a ten-year-old who is the pastor of your church.  Most of the time it is an older adult who pastors the church.  But you don't have to be an adult to know someone's heart.  Our verse says that even a child can be known by whether he is good or not.  Let me ask you a question: How do you know what is in someone's heart?  The answer is by what they do on the outside.  If a person steals money, what do you think is on the inside of their heart?  They probably have the heart of a thief.  If someone talks dirty and talks about wicked things, what do you think is in their heart?  Probably wickedness and evil is in their heart.  Last week I read, "Be careful of what you think because your thoughts may become words at any moment."  Isn't that is true?  Thoughts become words and words become deeds.  And you don't have to be an adult for people to know what is in your heart.  Even a child is known on the inside by what he does on the outside.  When someone says your name, what comes to their mind?  When someone says, "Gerald," do they think a good man or do they think of a cheat or a liar or a thief?  I hope they think good things when they say my name.  But what about your name?  What kind of a person have you been building for yourself?  A good person or a bad person.  If you haven't been building a good person, isn't it about time for you begin to build yourself a good person? I think so.
