Time for spring cleaning?

According to the World of Quotes, John Wesley included in one of his sermons, "Certainly this is a duty, not a sin. Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness.'"

Further back, the Talmud states, "The doctrines of religion are resolved into carefulness; carefulness into vigorousness; vigorousness into guiltlessness; guiltlessness into abstemiousness; abstemiousness into cleanliness; cleanliness into godliness." [Maybe that's where Wesley got it from?]

(Even the Quran is credited with adopting the idea, with its, "God loveth the clean.")

Perhaps this would be a good time to clean our "spiritual houses," too.

Consider Hebrews 12:1 -- Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
