- Change of Heart
- A bed sheet with text and/or artwork used as a visual aid to a preacher's sermon.

"Intellect changed by testimony...affections changed by evidence...will changed by thinking on these...these all lead to obedience...faith purifies the heart...repentance changes the life...confession changed the allegiance...baptism puts one into changed state."
