Matthew 16:12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducee's.
Observation
In this current world, in the US, I don't know of a person who says they are a Pharisee or Sadducee. So how does this scripture apply to me?
Application
This scripture is specifically telling me to guard myself against any teaching that does not line up with the Bible, and if it gets into me it has the possibility of increasing in volume like yeast does.
So what does that mean. It means things like Oprah, The Situation Room, The Ellen Show, The View, Many newspapers, Larry King, Jay Leno, fill in the blank; they are proclaiming things to us that are not from the bible. and we ingest it, and ingest it and ingest it. It is time we stopped taking it in and started spending more time with the Word of God, so the real truth would be in me instead of "teachings" from Pharisees and Sadducee's.
Prayer
Father, forgive me for allowing some yeast of the this world to be injected into me. Please remove it, clean it up and heal the wound. I ask that your word be would the yeast that would rise up and fill me. Thank You. Amen.
