Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? (1 Corinthians 5:6). Paul was writing to those who wanted to ignore this problem. They didn't realize that  allowing public sin to exist in the church affects all its members. Paul does not expect anyone to be sinless - all believers struggle with sin daily. Instead, he is speaking against those who deliberately sin, feel no guilt, & refuse to repent. This kind of sin cannot be tolerated in the church because it affects others. We have a responsibility to other believers. Yeast makes bread dough rise. Blatant sins, left uncorrected, confuse & divide the congregation. While believers should encourage, pray for & build up one another, there must also be intolerant of sin because it jeopardizes the health of the church. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, we thank you for Jesus. He dealt a severe blow to sin & death on the cross. He made it possible for us to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. We are now at peace with you. We are now your children. Help us to deal with sin in our lives head on. Help us to confess it & to repent of it. You have made us royal, help us to live as royal. Forgive us our sins. Purify us from all unrighteousness. Lead us in the way everlasting. In Jesus mighty name we pray  & believe, Amen. God bless you all.
