Washday

Every Sunday Is Washday
at First Church of God, Medford, OR

What day is washday at your home?
Whenever it is, it comes after a week or more of piling dirty laundry in a corner someplace until you just can't look and smell presentable in public anymore unless you do some laundry. We would rather be busy than take the time to do the laundry.

That is how we are with our souls. We rush on through life taking hits, developing grudges, and becoming bitter rather than stop and take care of the dirt we are collecting. The result eventually comes that we are just not fit to be in the public anymore. Maybe someone will have the guts to tell us to our face that our attitude stinks or that our behavior has become ugly.

What's the solution? Laundry day. Like or not, it must come or we will be a social outcast. For dirty clothes you go the laundry mat but where do you go for soul that has collected a life time of filth from the sewers of our culture?

On Sunday, come to First Church of God, in Medford, OR and we will help you with your laundry. We will help you experience for the first time the washing away of all your sins, and help you stay clean. If you get dirty again, which is easy for all of us to do, come back and get clean. Why carry the increasing weight of last weeks dirt into next week? Start fresh! Start clean!

Wonder how? It is through the work of the Holy Spirit and not through anything we do. We have have simply rediscovered what millions have known for thousands of years and want you to share the same joy of being free and clear of sin.

It's good to be back after taking two weeks off and I come back with a new focus...washday. See you Sunday.

The next "Ask Pastor John - Live" is this Wednesday. Come by, drop me a note and ask your questions. (Wed. - 7pm - First Church of God.)
