This morning, my thoughts will continue on the importance of the Holy Spirit working in our lives. The working of the Holy Spirit, you might say, cleans up the inner man, spiritually, giving the believer a new nature, making us holy, a new creature in Christ.

ARE WE LEAVEN OR UNLEAVENED?
This morning, reading in Matthew, I find interesting the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees, their self- righteousness, and Christ’s teachings and His comparison to leaven bread.

They follow the doctrine of … Continue reading ARE WE LEAVEN OR UNLEAVENED?
