Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 1Cr 4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. 1Cr 4:18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. 1Cr 4:19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. 1Cr 4:20 For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power. The House of God is to build, uplift exhort, and edify the kingdom. The House of God is for His glory and His alone. His house is a house of prayer, His house is a house of worship, His house is a house refuge, His house is a house of salvation, Things that are too heavy for you to carry bring them to the house of God to His alter where He shall purge and clean. God says come as you are so he can cleanse you, he didn��"t say don��"t come until you cleanse yourself, he didn��"t say I am a redeemer but you are to redeem your self before you come into my house.
