Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. I Corinthians 5:7
Paul recognized that in order to have a true revival, two things had to happen. First, the old influences had to be completely cleaned out in order to make space for the new leaven of Christ. He called it, putting the old man to death, so the new man could live. Just piling new on to the old, will make a crowded mess. It is always best to clean out the closet before the new stuff goes in. Do we ever do it? Let's not neglect it here.
