Old Clothes, New Body

June 26, 2022

My closet is full; my dresser drawers are hard to close because I have way too many clothes. Why? Because over time my body has changed but my clothes haven't...so I buy new clothes. Sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller. Yet I keep all the old ones; for many reasons I have a hard time throwing them out. We do the same thing with our faith. We become followers of Jesus, but we hold on to lots of other religious beliefs even though they don't fit - and frankly - don't look good. Why do we do that? What do we need to let go of? Putting on new clothes and cleaning out the closets of a new covenant, this Sunday at Mendham Hills.
