Sanctified by the word

So, we keep on talking about "washing her with the water by the word" from Ephesians 5, and I ran across this great cross-reference in Christ's High-Priestly Prayer from John 17 that might shed a little more light on what that means.  It's talking about the Word and washing and truth.

Joh 17:14-21  I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  (15)  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.  (16)  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.  (17)  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.  (18)  As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.  (19)  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.  (20)  Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;  (21)  That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

You should definitely watch the first video in "The Truth Project" if you haven't yet.  It's all about truth and how to find it.  And, boy, do you need it!  (and your wife).  The teacher talks about the insanity of believing something that is not true as if it were truth, and concluded that we are all insane, because we all believe, and act on, lies.  We love our wives by believing and teaching them the truth, making Christ and His Word central in our family!

I'm hungry.  When's lunch you hoser?  If you don't buy me lunch soon, I think, as interest you will need to buy me some Kentucky Breakfast Beer!
