“No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God.” – Romans 2:29

Jeremiah 4:4 – “Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, circumcise your hearts, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem.”

Why did God require the Israelites in the Old Testament to circumcise their baby boys?

Titus 2:7-8 – “In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned.”

The Lord wants us to teach the classes with an attitude of humility and gratitude in our hearts.  We have seen those preachers on television who confuse their own egotistical self-confidence and aggressiveness with unction.  We do not teach like this.

Hebrews 6:4-8 – “…It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned…”

‘Ndithu mukumbukira abale upangiri wathu ndi ntchito za manja athu, timagwira ntchito usana ndi usiku kuti tisakhale chipsyinjo kwa aliyense pamene tikulalikira uthenga wa Mulungu kwa inu. ’ (1 Atesalonika 2:9)
