Whom have I in heaven but you and on earth there is nothing that I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but you are the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Would you grant, Father, that all of us in this room would be able to say that with our dying

breath in Jesus' name.

You may be seated. There are negative reasons for this conference and there are positive ones.

There are things that my prayer is that this conference would help prevent and there are things that I pray this conference will promote.

And the way I would like to structure the message today

is by beginning with seven or eight of those negative ones, the things that I hope we will help not happen in

your mind, in your life, and then turn mainly to the positive one what we hope this conference has and

will promote.

I'll tell you what the main one is, namely, that you would make your thinking, your mind, a means of loving. And the great commandment and the second commandment are that we love God and that we love people and

Francis has discharged me of my responsibility to talk about the second one because last night's message

could not have done it better. So my focus is going to be on how the mind is meant by God to serve our love of Him.

But before I get there, there are the seven or eight things that I hope

the conference will help you not do.

So let me list them off.

They're pretty short and may take up about half of our time

and then we'll turn to the main positive one. Number one, we hope that through

this conference you will not be naive about the depravity of the human mind,

especially after Al's talk where he opened it for us so fully.
