We Love God!

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

Joy is not just the spin-off of obedience to God, but part of obedience. It seems as though people are willing to let joy be a byproduct of our relationship to God, but not an essential part of it. People are uncomfortable saying that we are duty-bound to pursue joy. They say things like, 'Don't pursue joy, pursue obedience.' But Christian Hedonism responds, 'That's like saying, ';Don't eat apples; eat fruit.'' Because joy is an act of obedience. We are commanded to rejoice in God. If obedience is doing what God commands, then joy is not merely the spin-off of obedience, it is obedience. The Bible tells us over and over to pursue our joy (Psm. 32:11; 37:4; 67:4; Lk. 10:20; Phil. 4:4).
John Piper

If Christ is the head of His body – and He is – then everything else is just body. The most influential pastor or ministry leader is a member of the body of Christ and therefore needs what the other members of the body need. There is no indication in the New Testament that the pastor is the exception to the rule.

CAKE
FILLING
In a medium saucepan, combine margarine, water and chocolate. Bring to a
boil, then remove from heat. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda
and salt. Pour in margarine mixture and stir to combine. Add beaten eggs
and sour cream; mix well. Pour into a greased and floured 10 x 15" jelly
roll pan.
Filling: In a smaller mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar and
egg until smooth. Gently drizzle this mixture over chocolate batter. With a
spoon or blunt knife, carefully spread around. If using chocolate chips,
sprinkle them over the top of the entire cake.

If ever you need a cake fast, this is it - I once made 2 of these in about
an hour and 10 minutes flat - and didn't even break much of a sweat (we
won't talk about the speed limit, however, when getting them to the
school).
