The world keeps trying
to tell us what is right—
even when every fiber of the soul
knows it’s wrong.
What once was called immoral
is now celebrated,
and those who stand in God’s truth
are labeled hateful, narrow, or unkind.
But Scripture reminds us
that a little yeast
leavens the whole dough.
A small compromise…
a quiet surrender…
suddenly the whole heart
begins to rise in a direction
it was never meant to go.
So the Lord calls us—
not to pride,
not to boasting,
but to become a fresh batch,
cleared of the old yeast
and the wrongful risings it brings.
And Jesus asks a simple question:
Is it lawful to do good?
To save life rather than destroy it?
The answer has not changed.
Good is still good.
Truth is still truth.
Life is still worth saving.
So we stand
gently,
humbly,
firmly—
not shouting back at the world,
but letting Christ
shape us from the inside out,
until His goodness
becomes the quiet witness
the world cannot silence.
Prayer
Lord,
Keep our hearts steady in Your truth
when the world pulls us toward the shadows.
Clear out the old yeast that clings to us
and make us a fresh, faithful people.
Let Your goodness be the light we carry today.
Amen
