Infesting Sin

You know.. I never really sat down and really thought about all the sin in the world for a long time.. today's passage really shows me that sin is really strong and it can even attack the best of he church.. Sin is the farthest from what we want to be; it is the farthest of what we want to do. Like the Corinthian church, the sin that plagued it was sexual immorality. It is a sin that is so strong, it still happens today..

Paul said to take sin away is like taking the old yeast out and putting new yeast into dough. The old yeast is the old self - sinful and mean - and the new yeast is the new life we have in Christ, I think..
When we invite Christ into our lives we can not have the old yeast still within us.. with it the new yeast Christ offers will never be able to grow and rise. The only way to get rid of it, now, is to confess to God our sins.. He already knows we are sinners, but what are we doing about it? like in James 5:16 - "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

So let's pray for each other. Keep each other accountable.. for Christianity is about relationships.. a relationship with God and a relationship with others. We are here for each other! prayer requests anyone? :]
