I Corinthians 6:9-11 NIV  Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

I was absentmindedly unloading the dishwasher, and after about the third dish I put away I realized my hand was sticky…these were dirty dishes, not clean ones. Sitting in the dishwasher for hours doesn’t make them clean dishes; the dishwasher has to actually run for the dishes to become clean!

Sitting in church doesn’t transform sinners into Christians. It’s the work of the Holy Spirit that makes us clean. If you want to be clean, let the dishwasher do its work, let the Holy Spirit transform your life!
