We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We must feel toward our people as a father toward his children; yea, the most tender love of a mother must not surpass ours. We must even travail in birth, till Christ be formed in them. They should see that we care for no outward thing, neither liberty, nor honor, nor life, in comparison to their salvation... When the people see that you truly love them, they will hear anything from you... Oh therefore, see that you feel a tender love for your people in your hearts, and let them perceive it in your speech and conduct. Let them see that you spend and are spent for their sakes.
Richard Baxter

The following principles of leadership emerge from biblical teaching: 1. Christian leaders should be certain that their goal is to serve God and others, not to receive the title or honor that comes with leadership. 2. Leaders should not use their position for their own advantage or comfort. No task should be “beneath” them – although some tasks may be delegated. They should not ask others to do what they are unwilling to do themselves. 3. Leaders will seek to distinguish their own preferences from the will and welfare of the group as a whole. 4. Normally the position should seek the leader. There may be some situations in which persons may apply or volunteer. Nevertheless, when someone strongly desires a particular responsibility, his or her motivation should be carefully examined. 5. We must learn to see each other as valuable to the Lord and basically equal in his sight.

INGREDIENTS

4 lg Meaty beef shank slices, about 1 " thick
1/4 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt
4 tb Peanut oil
1 c Diced onion
4 lg Clove garlic, chopped
1 c Diced carrot
1 c Diced celery
1 c Dry white wine
2 c Canned whole tomatoes with juices
Freshly grated zest of 1 lemon
1 Lemon, juice of
1/4 c Finely chopped parsley
3/4 ts Salt
1/2 ts Coarse grind black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix together the 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 tsp salt. Coat the beef shanks with
the flour. Add the peanut oil to a very hot pressure cooker pot. Brown the
floured shanks until golden and set them aside in a dish.
Add the onions and garlic to the oil left in the pot and saute until limp
and beginning to take on a golden color. Sprinkle the remaining flour and
salt mixture over the onions and stir. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring
constantly. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the pot, and stir well.
Add the meat back to the pot into the sauce. Place the lid on the pressure
cooker securely and put the pressure regulator weight in place. Leave the
heat on high until the regulator weight begins to jiggle, then lower the
heat immediately to a level that allows the regulator weight to just barely
jiggle. Cook the shanks, from this point on, for 25 minutes. Remove pot
from heat and cool.
Open the lid and stir gently. Check the consistency of the gravy. If it is
too thin, raise the heat to high and reduce to the desired thickness. If it
is too thick, add a little water.
My family especially likes this dish served over a saffron-flavored rice
pilaf with a generous sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese over the top.
