We Love God!

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

God does not like to be taken for granted. It flies in the face of His eternal purposes – that He be known and loved and praised and enjoyed. And it makes us superficial people… When the main thing is missing, what’s left is distorted and superficial, whatever it is. If someone says, “Oh, that’s just religion,” I answer, “It’s not religion. It’s reality. God made the world and everything in it. He owns the earth and everyone on it. He is the main actor in the world. He is guiding the history of every people and nation to their appointed goals. Everything, without exception, has to do with God and gets its main meaning from God. And not to show this, but to take this for granted, is to be superficial.” It is simply impossible to overstate the importance of God. And He does not like being taken for granted. The psalm does not say, “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be taken for granted.” It says, “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised” (Psm. 96:4).
John Piper

The ultimate goal of theology is not knowledge, but worship. If our learning and knowledge of God do not lead to the joyful praise of God, we have failed. We learn only that we might laud. Another way of putting it is to say that theology without doxology is idolatry. The only theology worth studying is a theology that can be sung.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 c Vinegar
Green coloring
1 c Water
3 1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Mint leaves
1/2 c Commercial pectin (boxed)

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine vinegar, water, mint leaves, and enough coloring to give tint
desired. Add sugar, stir, and bring to a boil. Add pectin at once, stirring
constantly, and bring again to a full boil for 1/2 minute. Strain off mint
leaves and pour into glasses.
**When cold, cover with paraffin.  Approximate yield: 6 (6 oz.) glasses. My
note:  The newer directions call for the jelly to be sealed while scalding
hot.  I've also put lids on and put it in the freezer. If you have trouble
with thickening use more pectin.
