Sermon for Holy Trinity

                   A Thorough Mouth Cleaning                                  Isaiah 6:1-7 Isaiah finds himself before God and he exclaims, "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. @ You know, I feel for Isaiah. To be before God in all His glory and majesty, I can see exactly why he would say such a thing.   I can imagine myself in his shoes, I can envision how I might have responded, “Heavenly Father, beloved Son, and Holy Spirit; in fits of rage, I have taken Your holy name in vain. In attempts to be funny, I have soiled my lips with profanity and vulgarity. With the mouth you have given me, I have belittled and made fun of others whom you created and for whom Your beloved Son gave His life to redeem in pain and suffering on the cross. Woe is me! I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. @   How easy it is to say stuff that we regret. In
