Tuesday October 21, 2025XIX Week After Pentecost —In today’s episode, we see how hidden motives, unchecked sin, and careless words can corrupt what God means to be pure and holy.📖 2 Kings 5:19–27 exposes the greed of Gehazi, who secretly runs after Naaman for profit and ends up cursed with the very leprosy his master had healed. It’s a sobering warning that even those close to God’s work can fall if their hearts are divided.📖 1 Corinthians 5:1–8 confronts the danger of tolerating sin within the community of faith. Paul calls the church to holiness—urging believers to “clean out the old leaven” so they may live as new creations in Christ.📖 Matthew 5:27–37 goes to the heart of righteousness, where Jesus teaches that purity, faithfulness, and truth begin long before our actions—they start in the heart and are expressed through our words.Together, these passages remind us that discipleship is not about appearances but integrity—about letting God’s truth cleanse our hearts, govern our desires, and shape every promise we make.
