We Love God!

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

So what are the essentials of evangelism? We can sum them up in four words: God, man, Christ, and response. God is our holy Creator and righteous Judge. He created us to glorify Him and enjoy Him forever (Gen. 2:7, 16-17; 18:25; Matt. 25:31-33). But mankind has rebelled against God by sinning against His holy character and law (Gen. 3:1-7). We’ve all participated in this sinful rebellion, both in Adam as our representative head and in our own individual actions (1 Kings 8:46; Rom. 3:23; 5:12,19; Eph. 2:1-3). As a result, we have alienated ourselves from God and have exposed ourselves to His righteous wrath, which will banish us eternally to hell if we are not forgiven (Eph. 2:12; John 3:36; Rom. 1:18; Matt. 13:50). But God sent Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, to die the death that we deserved for our sins – the righteous for the unrighteous – so that God might both punish our sin in Christ and forgive it in us (John 1:14; Rom. 3:21-26; 5;6-8; Eph. 2:4-6). The only saving response to this Good News is repentance and belief (Matt. 3:2; 4:17; Mark 1:15; Luke 3:7-9; John 20:31). We must repent of our sins (turn from them and to God) and believe in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of our sins and reconciliation to God (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

There is a vast difference, however, between childlike faith and childish faith, though the two are often confused. [Childlike faith calls the believer] to remain forever in a state of awe and trust of their heavenly Father, while a childish faith balks at learning the things of God in depth. It refuses the meat of the gospel while clinging to a diet of milk...The call of the New Testament is to maturity.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD

INGREDIENTS

12 c Water
6 ts Vegetable Bouillon granules
4 Tomatoes, fresh or 1-lb can
1/2 c Corn, fresh or canned
1 Celery rib, diced
1 Onion, diced
1/2 c Okra, cut
1/4 c Rice, white or brown
1/8 ts Tabasco Sauce (optional)
1 c Shredded cabbage (optional)
5/16/93

INSTRUCTIONS

Directions: Place all ingredients in a large pot, bring to boil, cover and
simmer about 20 minutes until all vegetables are done. 1-l/2 C serving
equals about 35 calories.
NOTE:  I use Uncle Ben's Converted Rice as it seems to hold its shape
better in long cooking periods.  Any rice will work if this soup is not
reheated several times, but it usually is!
This is a thin soup, I sometimes add shredded cabbage, chard, bok choy, or
other green vegetable to it.  The greens make it thicker and more filling,
but add few calories. This doesn't resemble the real Cajun Gumbo, but is
good for those days when you feel you've over-indulged and need to cut
back.  I keep in it the fridge and use it as a snack when I just have to
have something else. You can also add herbs, hot pepper, it is very
versatile, and a good starting recipe.
