About once a month, we have someone come to the house to do what Helen calls deep cleaning. Before she comes, Helen usually gets ready for her by straightening things up. At first, I ask Helen, “Why are you cleaning before someone else is coming to clean?” Of course, she says the person is coming to do the deep cleaning that is hard for her to do. This is a blessing to Helen, especially as we get older.
Sometimes, as Christians, we seem satisfied with surface-level cleaning in our lives. We want to look just good enough for those around us not to see a mess, but the truth is we also need a good deep cleaning. We will never be able to clean ourselves up well enough. We need the Holy Spirit to come in and deep clean regularly and remove the dirt we can’t reach. It is not always pleasant because it involves moving things around, getting rid of some things in our lives, and making us willing to change whatever is necessary to remove all the dirt. Let’s never be satisfied with just a surface cleaning, but be willing for the Holy Spirit to get deep into every part of our lives and do the deep cleaning necessary to be our best for God.
John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Titus 3:5 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word.

They’re great!! I grew up hearing Tony the Tiger shout that about Frosted Flakes. Now I really like Frosted Flakes, and they may taste great, but they aren’t exactly great for you. Research on rats has found that sugar is more addictive than opioid drugs such as cocaine. Now I don’t want to do a devotion on nutrition, but the point is that we can crave things that are really bad for us.
When it comes to temptation, it can be the same. The sinful things we are tempted to do may seem so good, sweet, and desirable, but in reality, they are very bad for us. Not only that, sinful behavior can be highly addictive, and you will find yourself in a life of sin you never thought you would be capable of. Now, with Frosted Flakes, you could eat some in moderation, but when it comes to sin, God’s solution is to resist sin and flee from the very appearance of evil. You can’t sin in moderation and be okay. Now, with sugary foods, use discretion, but even though Satan is shouting “It’s Great!” stay away from sin. If you are already addicted, good news. God said that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive them, so deal with them now and begin anew with the Lord. He is always waiting to hear from you.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
1 Corinthians 6:18-20 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

I have a program I use that is very helpful for replicating exact colors. I can click on any area of a picture, and the program tells me which colors to mix to get that tone. For instance, I am working on a painting with many shades of blue. I click on one of the blues, and it says to mix 50% Ultramarine blue, 30% Raw Umber, and 20% black. Very helpful indeed.
Now, wouldn’t it be great if, when we saw areas of our lives that need improvement, we could just click on the needed improvement and it would tell us what combination of behavior changes or additions to our lives is needed to reach that goal? Well, actually, we do. If we live our lives according to God’s word and allow the Holy Spirit to guide us, those changes will become clear and realized. God is always ready to fine-tune us so we are more in the likeness of His Son. Our problem tends to be that we want to add our own ingredients, which can discolor or muddy our lives. God always knows best if we will only allow Him to change us day by day.
2 Corinthians 3:18 "And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
Colossians 3:8-10 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Good morning and welcome to “Getting To Know You with Host Paul Pitts”. A couple of weeks ago on May 30th we would have been celebrating the birthday of our friend Jeff Stice. Jeff was a great musician and Gospel Music artist that left us back during the Pandemic and we miss his funny character and his music. I went back and pulled up the last interview I did with him at the Roopville Baptist Church in Roopville, Georgia. I hope you enjoy listening to Jeff and his thoughts on his career in Gospel Music.
