Beware the Leaven

So my wife and I didn't make it to church tonight for bible study but we were able to watch the live broadcast online. While I was watching bible study, God spoke a word to my heart. I knew that I had to dump a lot of "leaven" that was lying around in my house, specifically in my binder and computer. I don't really want to talk details because God teaches not to be boastful so let's just say I need to start my music and movie collection over from scratch. Living a righteous life here, in this world, is difficult but God rewards diligence.

Anyway, while I was updating my status on facebook, I ran across this scripture:

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
- Hebrews 11:6

I need to make it a habit to read my Bible more.

Jesus warned of "the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees", which included their teaching and hypocrisy.
Mt 16:5-12; Lk 12:1

Jesus issued the warning, "Beware the leaven of Herod"
(Mark 8:15).
