The Immaculately Clean Christian
If you loose your soul the first thing you notice is how dirty your house. Sin makes us forget to clean. Adultery, gluttony, jealousy, greed turn us into pigs. Oink, oink. We cannot see the dirt. We cannot understand why our houses smell like barnyards. Looks like a cyclone hit. Why has house been turned upside-down?
It's the devil. He's moved in. Lives in the guest room. He's a messy fellow. Never picks up after himself. Watches TV all night. Plays the radio too loud. Never flushes. Never brushes his teeth. He uses the good towels.
He laughs too loud. He curses the dog. He smokes, drops ashes everywhere. He chews with his mouth open. He's a slob.
Which might explain why the houses of Christians so clean? The devil is in the dirt. Dusting the house will keep the devil away. Washing dishes and clothes is an idea way to ward off the devil. Indeed, he will come into a clean house. The devil wants clutter. Socks on the floor. Clothes clumped in the corner.
After church or following prayer or bible reading Christians are often inspired to clean their houses. Mop the floor. Pick up. Dust the furniture. After church in particular, Christians can be found vacuuming, dusting, throwing clothes to the wash.
In a dirty house, the devil's face be seen. To chase the devil from the house one needs only start sweep. The hum of vacuum cleaner is enough to see him flee. He cannot abide the smell of a clean house. Amonia is the Christian's friend. Cleaning prodcuts are shock treatment.
Christian houses are cleaner than atheist houses. The rooms look neater.
Messy is not an inherited trait. And among disbeleivers that messy is a epidemic. A disease like the bubonic. Like whooping cough, tuberculosis. There are messy nations, messy governments, local and nationwide.
Christians would enjoy visiting the houses of disbelievers if only to offer them a hand at cleaning. The devil wouldn't enjoy that. The dirty rotten atheists would do well to clean.
