I grew up hearing that "cleanliness was next to godliness", as if that phrase was a Scripture. And while being clean is certainly a great goal, it does not represent godliness as much as exhibiting grace under pressure does.

Bible Reading: 2 Tim. 3-4

Verse of the day: 2 Timothy 3:5, "Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people."

Word of the day: Godliness. It is the Greek word: εὐσέβεια (yoo-seb'-i-ah).
