Bible Note: Greetings - sorry for the tardy reply - I have been away for a couple of weeks. You made some good observations and I agree, a 2 hour Bible study would be a good place to start . . . I suspect that the yeast is not the action, but rather the mind set that spawns ungodliness. Throughout God's Word we are continually challenged to CHANGE THE WAY WE THINK (and act); so the yeast (to me anyway) begins to grow in the mind with our thought processes. What we choose to believe will dictate our responses. You wrote: "Don't be fooled by other's inability to conform to God's standards." I think that all too often we "fool ourselves" into thinking that we actually can "measure up!" No one can meet the requirements of God - aren't you glad that Jesus did?!! It is only through Him that we are "holy and blameless" in His sight. (Col 1:22) Sadly, there are so many believers who fail to grasp the truth of this fact. Sadder still are those "believers" who point a wagging finger at the sins of others . . . we need to see God AS HE IS and others as HE SEES THEM! Blessing to you, mommapbs |
