We Love God!

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

There is no one gift which offers so strong a temptation both to vanity and to pride – as that of public speaking. If the orator really excels, and is successful, he is the immediate spectator of his success, and has not even to wait until he has finished his discourse; for although the decorum of public worship will not allow of audible tokens of applause, it does of visible ones – the look of interest, the tear of penitence or of sympathy, the smile of joy, the deep impression on the mind, the death-like stillness, cannot be concealed – all seem like a tribute of admiration to the presiding spirit of the scene; and then the compliments which are conveyed to his ear, after all the silent plaudits which have reached his eye – are equally calculated to puff him up with pride. No men are more in danger of this sin than the ministers of the Gospel; none should watch more sleeplessly against it.
John Angell James

[One] objection to the study of theology is that it deceives Christians from simple faith in the Bible. The underlying premise of this objection is that believing is good and knowing is bad. But in fact the Bible lauds both believing and knowing (Rev. 2:23; Matt. 22:37). God has gone to the trouble of revealing information about Himself in creation and His Word. Is it not the height of irreverence to say we should ignore this information? Christianity is about truth and one important way to relate to truth is to know it (Paul Thorsell).

INGREDIENTS

12 c Mixed greens; such as Mustard, Arugula, Watercress, Dandelion, Kale, Spinach, Chard, Escarole or others
4 lg Garlic cloves
Salt
2 lg Handfuls Italian parsley (leaves), chopped finely
1 Handfuls cilantro leaves, (or more), chopped finely
3 tb Fruity olive oil
2 ts Paprika
2 ts Ground cumin
1 Lemon; cut in wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE A MIXTURE OF GREENS TO SUIT your taste. Cut away the stems and stalks
and wash the leaves. Set the greens in a steamer, with the tougher greens
on the bottom. Cover and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Or, cook
each type of green separately in boiling, salted water, until done. Let
cool a few minutes in a colander, then squeeze out the extra liquid and
chop roughly. Pound the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a mortar
until finely broken down, then add the parsley and cilantro and continue
working until you have a rough paste. Or, combine the garlic, salt and
herbs in a food processor and work until everything is fine. You may need
to add a little olive oil. Warm the olive oil with the paprika and cumin.
When it begins to smell good, add the herb paste and mix the 2 together.
Next add the greens and cook everything together for a minute or so until
any excess moisture has evaporated. Taste and season with salt, if
necessary. Pile into a serving dish and garnish with the wedges of lemon.

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
