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

Here are [five] important ingredients in listening to sermons: 1. Get sufficient rest before the message so that your mind is not so worn out that it cannot listen. 2. Pray continually, asking God to help you to understand and respond properly to His Word. 3. Make sure that you have everything needed (Bible, writing pad, pen, etc.). Sit where you can see and hear. Make sure personal needs are taken care of. 4. Motivate yourself. The responsibility for developing interest and understanding is primarily yours before God. Make conscious effort to be optimistic and interested from the beginning. Give the speaker your attention. If you don’t have a good, immediate reason for listening to a speaker, you probably won’t listen properly. 5. Be sure to read any assigned readings. A listener who has done his homework has better comprehension.

Some would suggest that Jesus was “seeker sensitive” in that He worked His miracles in order to attract large crowds to which He could share the gospel. But in several passages it is plain this is not His motive: Mark 5:43; 7:36; 8:26, 30; and Luke 4:9-12 (and these are by no means exhaustive). Clearly, Christ did not intend these miraculous works for public exploitation. There is little to indicate Christ worked miracles in order to draw a crowd. He was opposed to selling the gospel by appealing to their love for the sensational. (See Jn. 2:23-25)… He sharply rebuked the five thousand for seeking Him for merely physical satisfaction. Jesus did not teach us to draw people to Him by appealing to their senses. Instead He claimed full responsibility for drawing all to Himself by way of the cross (Jn. 12:32); therefore, exalting Christ, "and Him crucified," is to be the primary object in worship, as well as evangelism. (See Rev. 5:8.)

    Meats Beef, Appetizers 1 Servings

    INGREDIENTS

    2 lb London Broil
    1/2 c Soy sauce
    2 tb Worstershire sauce
    2 ts Garlic powder
    2 ts Onion powder
    2 ts Fresly ground black pepper
    2 ts Red pepper flakes, less for sissies
    2 tb Liquid smoke

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Freeze the London Broil or other lean roast.  When ready to make jerky,
remove the roast from the freezer and let partially thaw. When just able to
slice, first remove all fat and then slice against the grain in thin (1/4
inch or less) slices. Cover the meat with the marinade, turn from time to
time and let marinade overnight.  In the morning line a shallow cookie
sheet with a few layers of paper towels.  Place on lower rack. Place upper
rack in oven in top position and lower rack in lower position. Hang the
beef slices from the upper rack with tooth picks above the paper towels. I
find about 6 hours at 160F average temp is about right.
If your oven is real tight, you might crack open the door a bit to allow
the water vapor to escape.
