DCLM Sincere Milk 25 June 2026 — The Dog and the Sow

The dog is said to be the most popular pet on earth. It is known as human’s best friend. And the sow or a female pig provides the most widely eaten meat in the world. 36 percent of the world’s population is said to enjoy eating pork – pig flesh. But there is a habit in each of them that everyone dislikes greatly. Everyone hates or feels sick to see the dog eat back its vomit, and a washed sow wallowing again in the mire or deep mud.

There is a way that some people resemble dogs and sows. That is, in their habit of frequently returning to do what is wrong and practice sinful behaviour they have once forsaken. How often do you go back, like a dog, to the sins you have repented of? How often, like a sow, do you return to soil yourself again with sin like lying, cheating and stealing after you have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus at your moment of repentance? You are not a dog, neither are you a sow.

Once forgiven, Jesus wants you never to return to your bad ways. And once cleansed, you are not expected to go back to the mire or uncleanliness of sinful habits. Remain cleansed and free from all sins whether you are at home, at school or everywhere you find yourself. That is what the Saviour expects from you. Keep yourself pure always!
