Circumcision of the Heart

| Does the scriptures say anything about cancel culture? | |
| Colossians chapter 2 is a great read. | |
| Listen to this, and this is where the idea of the book came from. | |
| In him, Jesus, you were also circumcised. | |
| I know it sounds scary in the putting off of the sinful nature. | |
| Hmm. | |
| Not with a circumcision done by the hands of men, you could add with a sharp knife, but with the circumcision done by Christ. | |
| He cuts something away from us. | |
| What does he do? | |
| What's he taking, cuts away? | |
| Having been buried with him, it tells you when it happens, in baptism and raised with him through your faith and the power of God who raised him from the dead. | |
| When you were dead in your sins, and every human being has been there, everybody is canceled because of their sins. | |
| We died that day when we sinned. | |
| We got old enough to know better, and we sin. | |
| The age varies. | |
| Some at 11 or 12, battle along in there, they began to sin. | |
| Early teenage years, that's when sin came our way, and we all succumbed to it. | |
| Well, when we were dead in our sins and in the uncircumcision of our sinful nature, we got that from Adam, God made you alive with Christ. | |
| Uh-oh. | |
| He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code. | |
| Oh, my goodness, he's bringing us out from under that code that we never kept. | |
| No one did. | |
| Until he showed up, he keeps the code 100% flawlessly perfect. | |

Spectacle Triumphing

|
| And now he dies. | |
| The law was against us. | |
| It stood opposed to us. | |
| He, Jesus, took it away, nailing it to the cross. | |
| And having armed, disarmed all the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. | |
| What a wonderful thing grace is instead of trying to keep the law. | |
