God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Colossians 2:11-12 refers to [our true] spiritual circumcision: “In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.” This circumcision does not involve the cutting of the body; it is a cutting away of our old nature. It is a spiritual act and refers to nothing less than salvation, effected by the Holy Spirit. Baptism, mentioned in verse 12, does not replace circumcision; it follows circumcision – and it is clearly a spiritual circumcision that is meant. Baptism, therefore, is a sign of inward, spiritual “circumcision.” This passage also specifies that the new life, represented by baptism, comes “through your faith.” This implies that the one being baptized has the ability to exercise faith. Since infants are not capable of exercising faith, they should not be candidates for baptism.
“It is written.” Stand upon it, and if the devil were fifty devils in one, he could not overcome you. On the other hand, if you leave “It is written,” Satan knows more about reasoning than you do. He is far older, has studied mankind very thoroughly, and knows all our weak points. Therefore, the contest will be an unequal one. Do not argue with him but wave in his face the banner of God’s Word. Satan cannot endure the infallible truth, for it is death to the falsehood of which he is the father.

Saute minced celery in butter over low heat. Add chopped tomato, Tabasco
sauce, parsley, thyme, salt, sage and bread which was soaked in cold water,
then squeezed dry. Blend all in skillet, then stuff into fish cavity.
Skewer opening closed. Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven set at 350
degrees, basting often with sauce. Allow about 10 minutes baking time per
pound of fish. A greased sheet of paper or white cloth left under the
snapper will make it easier to transfer to serving platter. Now back to the
basting sauce: Blend butter, lemon juice, salt, Worstershire sauce and
Tabasco sauce, adding oil a little at a time. Pour over fish before
starting baking. Baste often.
