I think that taking a shower is far more spiritual than taking a bath, because showers wash all your dirt far away never to be seen again, where as with baths you just sort of ruminate in your own filth.
Jon when he was preaching this Wednesday said: "when you meditate on where you've been too long you'll be inclined to go back there." (or something equivalent to that statement) I thought it was an interesting and profound thought and it reminded me of how I think of baths...
What I mean is that at some point you've just got to accept that that old dirt simply isn't a part of you anymore, stop trying to define your current relationship with Christ by who you use to be (the sin that you are sitting in), let the dirt be in the past and down the drain. You are a new creation! old things in your life are passed away and all things (ALL THINGS)have become new! you are begining to live a new life in which you are being made new and becoming like the one who made you! 2corinthians 5:17(ish)
We need to realize that Christ cleansing us is a daily process of letting his blood flow over our life! It dosn't stop at what he DID. It's about what He's DOING!
(Can I get an AMEN!)

so it makes me really happy that you actually posted that. It's awesome! I like it! Every time I take a shower I think "Yey! I'm a new creation in Christ! No baths for me!" Expect that our shower in the new dorm is broken...and doesn't drain. :-( Like, it's worse than ours was this summer! Anyway, good thoughts. AMEN!
AMEN! :) I like it...totally makes sense friend. Good job! I'll probably now think differently the next time I take a shower lol.
