As believers we are to to be a sweet aroma to God. Yet we stink. People, and God do not want to be around us. Our thoughts, words and how we conduct our lives are not a sweet aroma but rather a foul stench. Why? Because we haven't taken the whole transformation thing very seriously. Our thoughts aren't pure and lovely. Our talk is filthy, our words untimely and we don't speak life to other. Our lives don't imitate God. We don't love like he does. We don't practice holiness. We are no different than we were before and we smell. If we don't clean up who would ever want to stick around to listen to us share the gospel message.
It's time for the church to clean themselves up and be a true reflection of Christ. No one will be attracted to someone who smells like a dead skunk, but everyone will be drawn to the sweet aroma of Jesus.
Let's go hit the showers.
Until next time,
Pastor Paul
