 Leaven may be Good or Evil . It has the effect of enlarging whatever it is Found in.
<p>
Whatever we are exposed to affects Us . You might Say it <i>infects</i> us.
<p>
People have become very conscious of Health related exposures, infections and contagions. Accordingly, they have modified their eating habits and changed their Physical lifestyles.
<p>
But we are seeing Mental Health Issues on the rise with increased suicides, drug abuse, lawlessness and terrorism .
<p>
 Leaven in bread is Good . Unleavened bread is Bad . In the instances where unleavened bread was used it symbolized the Perfect , sinless Sacrifice of Christ .
<p>
As we Will See in the Scriptures that Follow , Leaven is Not Just Sin . 
<p>
 Matthew 13:33 <br><i>
Another parable spake he unto them; The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto Leaven , which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.</i>
<p>

Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.</i>
<p>

<p>

Then understood they how that he bade them Not beware of the Leaven of bread, but of the Doctrine of the Pharisees nd of the Sadducees.</i>
<p>

<p>

<p>
 Luke 13:21 <br><i>

therefore let us keep the feast, Not with old Leaven , neither with the Leaven of malice and Wickedness ; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and Truth .</i>
<p>
 Galatians 5:9 <br><i>
A little Leaven leaveneth the whole lump.</i>
<p>
What we are See in our Society is a result of Leaven - Good Leaven and bad Leaven . 
<p>
 Christ commanded us to Preach the Gospel , to be Witnesses of Him , to make an impact on Society for Good .
<p>
We are the salt of the earth, the Light of the world.
<p>
But Jesus said that salt which has Lost its savor should be thrown out. It has no Value . It makes no impact.
<p>
What is the ~savor~ that makes us valuable and effective?
<p>
It is the Spirit and the Word .
<p>
So, for ourselves we must: <br>
<i>Keep thy Heart with All diligence;
for out of it are the Issues of life.</i> Proverbs 4:23 
<p>
For others we Need to remember that our Opinions and mundane lifestyles don`t matter in the long run. 
<p>
What matters and what makes an Eternal difference is how we operate in the Power of the HolySpirit and the Living Word of God ,
<p>
 2 Timothy 4:2 <br><i>
 Preach the Word ; be instant in season, out of season; Reprove , Rebuke , Exhort with All Longsuffering and Doctrine .</i>
 <br> <br>
Matthew 10:8 <br><i> Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the Dead , cast out devils: Freely ye have Received , Freely Give .</i>
