October 21st Kryptonite 4

Reading: Jeremiah 9-10, Psalm 100, Acts 22 and Killing Kryptonite chapter 4

Thoughts: This Chapter in Killing Kryptonite was called Contagious Kryptonite. The thought behind this was portrayed in the story of Achan (Joshua 7) where when Achan sinned God saw the entire nation of Israel as those who sinned and that sin need to be taken care of. Paul reaffirms this is still true in the church today. Paul tells the church in Corinth that they must cast out a man saying he is a believer and a member of the church but was still practicing sexual sins. When we and the leadership of our church don’t cast out these people who are in sin (not those who sin but those who have given themselves over to sin saying I am covered by grace) we are affected by the Kryptonite that they have brought into our church. Not only to we get affected if we do not cut it out and remove that root/seed/toehold from our church it will spread through us like yeast through a batch of bread dough.
