Summary

IN THIS EPISODE: Every culture has certain phrases, repeated like foundational truths. These statements call everyone to a common morality or standard. But what if they’re wrong? For instance, a former generation used to say, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” Usually, parents say this to get their kids to clean their rooms. And while there’s value to the discipline of keeping things orderly, this statement can’t be found in the Bible. Nowhere in the authoritative written Word of God does it equate cleanliness with being like God. And there are a few other phrases we tend to do this with.
