Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews?

The Leaven of Sin

It leavens your whole soul, it grows and spreads until your once little sin becomes part of your character, and it brings with it all manner of other interconnected sins.

Scripture says to put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof. Root out the little sins in your life by quick repentance before they start to grow. Now is a good time to start that. The hard feelings you have against someone in this room, the argument you had on the way to church, the bad attitude you’ve brought here with you this morning, now is the time to confess those sins, and be cleansed.
