A Word for Wednesday

"Mrs. Joe was a very clean housekeeper, but had an exquisite art of making her cleanliness more uncomfortable and unacceptable than dirt itself. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and some people do the same by their religion."

~from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens~

Is our "godliness" more uncomfortable and unacceptable than sin itself? 

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence."
~Matthew 23:25~
