Moral defilement is matter of the heart and the dirt we allow to take root there.
Worry less about appearances and what we put in our mouths, and more about the words that cross our lips and the charitable labor of our hands – the quality of those fruits are evidence of the cleanliness of our soul’s soil.
“...maintain justice, and do what is right.... [God’s] house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
Whether or not we were on the earlier invitation list,
now by grace,
we’re ALL invited in, with clean hearts,
demonstrating love toward God and neighbor.
