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

If a church is to be what it ought to be for the purposes of God, we must train it in the holy art of prayer. Churches without prayer-meetings are grievously common. Even if there were only one such, it would be one to weep over. In many churches the prayer-meeting is only the skeleton of a gathering: the form is kept up, but the people do not come. There is no interest, no power, in connection with the meeting. Oh, my brothers, let it not be so with you! Do train the people to continually meet together for prayer. Rouse them to incessant supplication. There is a holy art in it. Study to show yourselves approved by the prayerfulness of your people. If you pray yourself, you will want them to pray with you; and when they begin to pray with you, and for you, and for the work of the Lord, they will want more prayer themselves, and the appetite will grow. Believe me, if a church does not pray, it is dead. Instead of putting united prayer last, put it first. Everything will hinge upon the power of prayer in the church.
C.H. Spurgeon

Since God made man like Himself, man’s dominion over the world and his filling the world is a display-an imaging forth-of God. God's aim, therefore, was that man would so act that he mirror forth God, who has ultimate dominion. Man is given the exalted status of image-bearer not so he would become arrogant and autonomous (as he tried to do in the fall), but so he would reflect the glory of His Maker whose image he bears. God's purpose in creation, therefore, was to fill the earth with his own glory. This is made clear, for example, in Numbers 14:21, where the Lord says, “All the earth shall be full of the glory of the Lord,” and in Isaiah 43:7, where the Lord refers to his people as those “whom I created for my glory.”

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 500F.  Lightly grease a large cookie sheet. Sift 1 1/2 cups
of the flour and the salt into a large bowl, setting remain- ing flour
aside in a small bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a
pastry blender or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal; stir in
the chopped parsley. Pour in the buttermilk all at once and stir with a
fork until the mixture just holds together. Do not overwork; the dough
should be wet and a little lumpy. Flour hands with reserved flour and pull
of a 1/4 cup piece of wet dough. Toss the dough lightly in the bowl of
flour to coat; roll gently into a smooth ball between palms of hands. The
inside of the biscuit will still be very wwet; place biscuit carefully on
the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat the procedure with the remaining dough,
flouring the hands as necessary and placing the formed biscuits on the
cookie sheet so they just touch.. Pat each biscuit gently to flatten
slightly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Makes about 8
biscuits. Nutrition Information per biscuit:
