Stain Removal

Recently while fixing my hair for the day, I looked around the room and saw how many cleaners I had. Wow..I have a lot of different soaps. We all do.

Hand soap
Bar Soap
Shower Gel
Shampoo
Face Wash
Pore Cleanser
Foot scrub
Wound cleaner
Toilet Cleaner
Carpet Cleaner
Dust Cleaner
Window Cleaner
Laundry Soap
Stain Removers
Dish Soap
Dish Washer Soap
Kitchen and Bath Cleaner
Wet Wipes
Antibacterial Gel


The list could probably go on and on.

We wash our hands many times a day. Why? We don’t want germs to get into our body thus making us sick. We bathe each day (I hope most of you do anyway). Why? We want to be clean and don’t want to stink. We are obsessed with staying clean. We are obsessed with staying stain free it seems.

We are told that reading His Word will make us healthy, strong, and help us to clean up spiritually. Tell me, why don’t we read it with as much discipline as we do with using our cleaners? Isn’t our spiritual cleanliness more important than anything? We spend money, time, and energy on purchasing and using soaps and cleaners. We pursue the goal of being clean in that way aggressively. We are offered a way to remain clean and free from the stench of sin through our Lord. Why then do we not spend more time with Him?

Just an observation…..
