Galatians 5:9 – 9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”
Paul was using this in a negative connotation. Yeast always puffs up the bread and signifies pride. Also it reveals that one bad apple can spoil the bunch.
On the other hand it only takes a small group of people living the right way and sharing the Truth for it to works its way through the group also.
Take a stand for Truth. Know what it is and share it with others. It will set them free as well as yourself
when you seek it.

Hey, Pat, pondering on this one…before he was betrayed, Jesus said “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” I wonder if this is where we sometimes have trouble …accepting that is will take the death(s) of the bearer(s) of the good news, physical death or death to self, before the crops will come in. Maybe this is why so often Churches have trouble seeing a true harvest within their communities…’cause it is so hard to die to one’s self. Might this idea of a people living the right way need to connected with dying daily to their own desires and needs to bring about the changes the Lord seeks. Just wondering… 🙂 Clint
