Hey Choir,
Just a reminder that we don't have choir for the next two Sunday nights....however on Sunday night, September 11th, we will be having a community-wide memorial service at Goodlettsville Nazarene Church...they have asked that all of those wishing to participate in the choir to arrive at 4:30 for rehearsal, so I hope to see some of you there along with me and Crystal! I still wanted to give you some food for thought this week, even though we aren't practicing so enjoy!
Clean
When I worked camp one summer, we stayed at a college campus where I was fortunate enough to have a room to myself. A few door down from me were a couple of my fellow male staffers who never cleaned anything in their room. In fact, they were proud of the fact that you could walk past their room in the hallway and have to cover your nose and mouth. It was foul to the core!
One week, me and another staffer couldn't take it anymore. As soon as they had both left to start their day, we wrapped a towel across our face, ran into their room, opened their window, and propped it in place with a broom, hoping that a few days of airing out would remove the smell.
After a week or so, my team honored me as a hero, but soon the smell was back. My temporary solution wasn't sufficient to permanently remove the source of the stench.
Only Jesus can forgive us our sins. Only He can get to the source of our sinful stench and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
Thank You, Jesus, for Your cleansing forgiveness!
