A while back, I did some research into why my dishwasher was smelly, had a pink gooey mold, and left a film on my dishes. I took it apart and cleaned it several times- which, by the way, was VERY hard on my dishwasher. So why is sodium phosphate so important for cleaning?
The reason my dishes were not getting completely clean was the lack of phosphates in the dishwashing detergent. Unfortunately, several misguided folks (MN scientists) thought phosphate caused algae to grow, therefore they deemed it necessary to be banned from all laundry and dishwashing detergent. Their efforts to ban sodium phosphate eventually led to legislation banning the chemical.
The purpose of sodium phosphate in your dishwasher detergent and laundry soap was to BREAK DOWN the food particles and dirt and take them OUT of your dishes and clothes. Without the chemical sodium phosphate, your dishes and clothes really aren’t clean.
So it is with sin in your life. Jesus is your Sodium Phosphate. When YOU ASK, He finds the sin of your life and cleanses you of your sin. But, for folks who don’t know Jesus, or those who don’t want to be clean and free from their sin (mostly because they don’t feel they have sin, or are okay WITH the sin) you may appear clean, but really you are a stinking, pink gooey mold mess, and that moldy mess eventually will stink up and infect every part of your life.
Now, more than ever, we all need to allow the saving grace of Jesus to cleanse us. Break out the Sodium Phosphate!
BTW- after they passed this ban on Sodium Phosphate, they revisited the study and discovered that Sodium Phosphate wasn’t the culprit for making algae grow. Don’t let Satan fool you into thinking you don’t need Jesus. Satan knows the power Jesus has in people’s lives. Go get washed by the eternal Sodium Phosphate-Jesus Christ.- M
