Episode 210 - Clean from the Inside Out

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.I read about a little boy who was preparing to leave for his piano lesson. Before they left the house his mother wanted to make sure he was presentable when he got to his teacher. “Did you wash your hands?”She asked“yes, Mother,” he replied “Did you wash your face?” Yes, Mother,” he said once more. “And did you wash behind your ears?” she continued.He hesitated for a moment and then said, “On her side I did.”It is possible to outwardly conform to the commands of Scripture for a time without truly desiring to love and follow God, but eventually what is on the inside will show up in our lives. If we want our conduct to be pleasing to God, we should begin by focusing on the heart. For what is made right inwardly shows on the outside. The cleansing of our lives begins when we align our hearts with the things God wants us to love.
