BIBLE MEDITATION: ¿Dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.? 2 Corinthians 7:1
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Satan tricks many people today by making them think they will become a religious fanatic if they live a holy life. They want to see how close to the world they can live. They do not necessarily want to drink, but they will go to a pub, sit with their friends, and sip ginger ale so no one will know the difference. Why can?t they just go ahead and be holy? Why don?t they just take a stand for Jesus Christ? I believe that Jesus would rather have us on the wrong side of the fence than sitting on the fence! He says so in Revelation 3:15-16, ?I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of My mouth.?
ACTION POINT: Open yourself to accountability. Ask God to lead you to a Christian with whom you can be accountable for the places you go, the people you spend time with, the way you spend your money. Enter into a covenant with that person to cleanse yourselves from ?all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.?

Comenzó temprano en la mañana, cuando los niños se disponían a desayunar. A media mañana, cuando la madre y los abuelos pretendían estar en los quehaceres del hogar, la actividad continuaba. Siguió a lo largo del día, agudizándose cuando los pequeños regresaron de la escuela. Así continuó hasta las diez de la noche cuando, por fin, la familia se acostó.
