A Safe Refuge

"You have become news with a case of immorality, and such a case that is not even found among pagans.  Yes, one of you has taken as wife his own stepmother.  And you feel proud!  Should you not be in mourning instead and expel the one who did such a thing.  For my part, although I am physically absent, my spirit is with you and, as if present, I have already passed sentence on the man who committed such a sin.  Let us meet together, you and my spirit, and in the name of our Lord Jesus and with his power, you shall deliver him to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit be saved in the day of Judgment.

"This is not the time to praise yourselves.  Do you not know that a little yeast makes the whole mass of dough rise?  Throw out, then the old yeast and be new dough.  If Christ became our Passover, you should be unleavened bread.  Let us celebrate, therefore, the Passover, no longer with old yeast, which is sin and perversity; let us have unleavened bread, that is purity and sincerity."

1 Corinthians 5:1-8

"Lord, You are my rock, my fortress, my refuge and my strength.  There is nothing I shall fear."
