All About Self-Examination

Observing the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the actions of de-leavening our quarters are meant to remind us of what we should be doing all year long--examining ourselves in order to repent of our sins and faults and overcome them. Self-examination is not something to try to do by itself. The Bible implies that it should be a natural part of every other experience.
