to our pursuit of Christ, we have lost much of our savor. The world sees the church pursuing

the same things she lusts after. The obvious conclusion is that Yahshua the Messiah alone
must not satisfy.

Our Heavenly Father is determined to bring purity forth where there has been
mixture. One way to refine and test the hearts of those whom God has called to bear His
