The Expulsive Power of a New Affection

The podcast discusses the concept of the expulsive power of a new affection, as highlighted in a sermon by Scottish preacher Thomas Chammers. It emphasizes that transformation in our lives cannot occur by merely trying to get rid of negative things. Instead, the gospel brings about change by creating a new affection and love for Christ. This new affection overcomes the downward pull of sin, similar to how the power of aerodynamics nullifies the force of gravity on an airplane. The episode suggests that during the busyness of Christmas, focusing on a new affection for Christ can help us enjoy the holiday season and put other things into their proper place.
