Wow!!! How scary it is to know that because of our mindsets, even the best work that we do for The Lord can become corrupt. We could be wanting and working to serve God yet still be horribly off course. It's difficult to remain pure in mind because it's so easy to convince ourselves that what we are doing on Sundays outweighs our lifestyles during the rest of the week.
However, even the best that we offer and do for God is defiled when we dishonor those who have been placed in leadership; when we dishonor our marriages, cause strife in the family, lie or discredit our brothers and sisters. Our work comes to nothing when we are two-faced, conceited and arrogant. When we act this way we are not representing Christ at all.
To come clean means that we don't just wash our hands, but that we wash our thoughts, wash our motives and wash our hearts!
Let's Come Clean!
"To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good." (Titus 1:15-16 NIV)
