Purging sin from the local church


On page 241, Burroughs outlines the Jewish traditions to cleanse the house of leaven. This took three steps: diligently seek out any leaven in the house, when they find it, cast it out, and lay a curse upon themselves if they withhold any leaven. If this is a model for how we are to deal with sin in our own lives, how can we as ministry leaders properly lead our congregation to seek to purge sin from their lives? What issues need to be considered in administrating such action?
