Classes on Cleansing


"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?  By taking heed thereto according to Thy Word.  With my whole heart have I sought Thee... Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee" (Psalm 119:9-11).  "The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that... our Savior Jesus Christ... gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works" (Titus 2:11-14). 

The classes on cleansing today
That God by His Word will extend
Are given that we may obey  
His lessons we're called to attend.

Regarding our cleansing, we've heard
The question of "How?" has been asked. 
Comparing our way to His Word,
The presence of sin is unmasked. 

Distractions will sometimes divide
Our hearts, which from God may depart. 
Our cleansing will come when we hide
The truth of His Word in our heart. 

O Lord, in Your classes we've learned
The price that our cleansing required! 
The more that Your grace is discerned,
The less of this earth we've desired.
