Did you ever notice the way the whiteness of clean clothes is used as a metaphor in the Bible? Water alone cannot remove grease and oil from clothing.
Pioneer Bible Translators just held our annual Pioneer Missions Institute. Missionaries and students filled our Dallas, TX International Service Center for two weeks of intensive sharing.
Pictured here are Rebecca, Director of Training, and Bill, Director of Support Services, down on their hands and knees, cleaning up tempera paint from the carpet of the children's programming area.
Back in Biblical times alkalines like naturally occurring soda helped clean. Lye and soap are also alkaline and used for removing grease and oil from clothing because water by itself can not do the job.
Millions do not yet have God's Word, in their own heart language. Water and the best soaps will not clean their souls... only God's Word can cleanse us. Please help Pioneer Bible Translators - Pray, Give, Come serve with us.
For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, [Yet] your iniquity is marked before Me," says the Lord GOD. Jeremiah 2:22 NKJV
