A.W. Pink explores 'The Parable of the Leaven,' emphasizing that the leaven symbolizes corrupting evil rather than the Gospel. He argues that the common interpretation, which views leaven as good and the meal as humanity, contradicts Christ's teachings in the preceding parables and the broader context of Scripture. Pink asserts that the 'woman' represents the Papacy and other corruptors of God's truth, who stealthily introduce false doctrines into the church. He warns that this corruption has been ongoing and will culminate in a complete leavening of the truth, leading to widespread deception in Christendom. Ultimately, Pink calls for discernment and a return to the pure doctrine of Christ amidst the pervasive corruption.

Sparks warns against the dangers of hypocrisy, materialism, and superficiality, urging believers to remain pure and separate from the leaven of the world. He concludes that while evil may abound, the faithful must strive to be unleavened bread, pleasing to God, as the Kingdom of Heaven will ultimately divide the good from the evil.
