We Love God!

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

A great many Christian books and counselors hail compatibility as the key to a successful and happy marriage. In our view, this reflects the consumer model of our secular culture more than the sacrificial model found in Holy Scripture. Marriage, experts tell us, works only when our needs and desires are met. But no such teaching is found in the Bible. In Scripture, we find that marriage works as a man and a woman stand before God in obedient faith, giving instead of taking, and serving instead of demanding. This is our problem with the emphasis on finding a compatible companion: it turns the whole of the Christian life on its head. Jesus said of Himself, “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve” (Matt. 20:28), and surely marital love can be built on no other foundation (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

You are most loving patient, kind and gracious when you are aware that there is no truth that you could give to another that you don’t desperately need yourself. You are most humble and gentle when you think that the person you are ministering to is more like you than unlike you. When you have inserted yourself into another category that tends to make you think you have arrived, it is very easy to be judgmental and impatient.

Grains Condiments 1 Cup

INGREDIENTS

3 tb Mustard seeds
1/3 c Dry mustard, preferably imported
1/2 c Hot tap water
1/2 c White wine vinegar
1/2 c Dry white wine or dry white vermouth
Big pinch of cinnamon
1/2 ts Dried tarragon, crumbled
1/2 ts Dill seed
2 ts Coarse (kosher) salt
Big pinch of ground cloves
1 ts Honey
1 tb Green peppercorns (drained water-packed or freeze dried)

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Combine the mustard seeds, dry mustard, water, and vinegar in a bowl
and let stand for at least 3 hours. 2. In a small saucepan, bring to a boil
the wine or vermouth, cinnamon, tarragon, dill seed, salt, and cloves.
Strain into the mustard mixture and stir. Add the honey and green
peppercorns. 3.  Scape into a food processor or blender and whirl to a
puree. 4. Transfer to the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Cook
for about 10 minutes, stirring often. (The mixture should be a bit softer
than finished mustard, as it will thicken as it cools). Crush a few more
peppercorns slightly and add, if you like texture and a little more bite.
5.  Scrape into a jar, cool, and refrigerate. Keeps indefinitely. Makes
about 1 cup
