Be careful, Jesus said to them, be on your guard against the yeast (leaven) of the Pharisees and Sadducees...Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees." - Matthew 16:6,12
In Matthew 13, Jesus had taught His disciples that the Kingdom of God would leaven the earth like yeast leavens bread. But in Matthew 16 He warned them to beware of another kind of yeast...bad teaching.

How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong? - Habakkuk 1:2-3 Has there ever been a time when the faith of God's people been so sorely tested? The answer is, 'yes'; and the little Book of Habakkuk offers prophetic encouragement for us in an hour when the forces of darkness seem to hold the upper hand.

This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, so that you and your children may live. - Deuteronomy 30:19 Rev. Mark Creech has summed up our situation perfectly: "This is a time of great testing for our country. We are now at a tipping point, and the differences between the candidates and the two parties represented couldn’t be more precise."
