20 In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay.

Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
2 Timothy 4:18New American Standard Bible (NASB)18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will [a](A)bring me safely to His (B)heavenly kingdom; (C)to [b]Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

~John Piper Faith in a superior promise server the root of the promise of sin.
~Paul WasherMany of you will study the Bible, many of you will pray, many of you will seek out Godly fellowship, and at the same time, you do not make that much progress with regard to the purity of your heart, because you're constantly allowing filth to be pumped in. Five seconds of filth on the television will take away two hours of good Bible study.
You have to guard you heart. Why? Jesus has already told us in Matthew 15 that from the heart springs everything. If you want your actions to be pure, your heart must be pure. How can we have a pure heart? It's by guarding it. Protecting it. Do not be transformed by this world. Do not be conformed to it. Do not allow it to get near you
