Clean Your Bedroom

Joshua 1:1-18

Psalms 26

I'm teaching Sunday school again.  It’s about obedience and so is this Psalm.  I once heard Francis Chan comment on obedience and the American Christian.  He said the American church was like him asking his child to clean her bedroom.  He comes back in several hours and asked the child, “Did you clean your bedroom?”  The child cheerfully and with great pride responds.  “I asked several of my friends over and we talked about cleaning.  We discussed all the neat and good ways to clean.  We even bought a “Clean Your Bedroom” manual and read it and even memorized a lot of the best passages.  We’ve promised to be the best at cleaning our bedrooms and are going to meet twice a week to encourage one another.”
