We Love God!

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

It is a calling to do what only single men and women in Christ can do in this world, namely, to display by the Christ-exalting devotion of your singleness the truths about Christ and His kingdom that shine more clearly through singleness than through marriage. As long as you are single, this is your calling: to so live for Christ as to make it clearer to the world and to the church 1. that the family of God grows not by propagation through sexual intercourse, but by regeneration through faith in Christ; 2. that relationships in Christ are more permanent; and more precious, than relationships in families; 3. that marriage is temporary and finally gives way to the relationship to which it was pointing all along: Christ and the church – the way a picture is no longer needed when you see face-to-face; 4. and that faithfulness to Christ defines the value of life; all other relationships get their final significance form this. No family relationship is ultimate; relationship to Christ is.
John Piper

The secret of a believer’s holy walk is his continual recurrence to the blood of the Surety, and his daily [communion] with a crucified and risen Lord. All divine life, and all precious fruits of it, pardon, peace, and holiness, spring from the cross. All fancied sanctification which does not arise wholly from the blood of the cross is nothing better than Pharisaism. If we would be holy, we must get to the cross, and dwell there; else, notwithstanding all our labor, diligence, fasting, praying and good works, we shall be yet void of real sanctification, destitute of those humble, gracious tempers which accompany a clear view of the cross.
Horatius Bonar

INGREDIENTS

1 c Dried lentils
1 lb Cod fillet, cut into 1" (2.5 cm) squares
Lots of diced vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions, turnip, celery, green beans, tomatoes, …)
1/4 c Orange juice
2 tb Sunflower or green olive oil
1 tb Dried parsley
1 Bay leaf
1/4 ts Ground black pepper
1/4 ts Thyme
1/8 ts Tarragon

INSTRUCTIONS

** Procedure  **
1) Place the lentils and 5 cups of cold water into a slow cooker (about 4
quart or 4 litre size) or crock pot. Cook on low overnight.
2) At breakfast, add the spices, oil, and enough vegetables to fill the pot
to no closer than 8 cm (3 inches) below the top. Then add enough cold water
to cover everything, plus 1 cm (1/2 inch). Cook on low for 5 hours.
3) Add the fish (the fish should be completely immersed in the liquid), and
then cook on low for another 4 to 5 hours.
4) A few minutes before serving, remove the bay leaf and mix in the orange
juice. Serve with salad and whole grain bread.
:          **  Variations  **
Substitute haddock, pollock, hake, cusk, clams, or lean back bacon (diced)
for some or all of the cod. Back bacon should be put in the slow cooker in
step #2, at the same time as the vegetables.
Note: Frozen fish should be thawed overnight in the refrigerator.
