Old Leaven to be Purged
1 Corinthians 5:7-8
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are unleavened…


There is a test point about you somewhere. Perhaps it is pride; you cannot bear an affront; you will not confess a fault. Perhaps it is personal vanity, ready to sacrifice everything to display. Perhaps it is a sharp tongue. Perhaps it is some sensual appetite, bent on its unclean gratification. Then you are to gather up your moral forces just here, and, till that darling sin is brought under the practical law of Christ, you are shut out from Christ's kingdom.

(Bp. Huntington.)
