Take Out the Trash

Sooner or later it’s time to take out the trash. Perhaps for you today is trash day. Paul, put it this way…Let there be no sex sin, impurity, or greed among you…no dirty stories, foul talk, coarse jokes - this is the kind of trash that can accumulate in your soul. Ephesians 5:3-4 paraphrase This is a short list of the garbage you may find in your soul right now. Some are obvious. Most are subtle…with allure, drift, forbidden fruit, and BAM we find ourselves deceived. A few verses later Paul writes with the passion and urgency of a train hammering down the rails: “WAKE UP!” Brother, crawl out of the cave and step into the light! Get back to following Jesus with your heart, mind, body, and soul. Reflect If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 (NIV) Pray Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit. Hosted on Acast.
