We Love God!

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

I think of Peter after He denied the Lord. The Bible says, “He went out and wept bitterly” (Lk. 22:62). Psalm 38:18, “For I confess my iniquity; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.” Jeremiah 31:18, “I have surely heard Ephraim grieving, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained calf; bring me back that I may be restored, for You are the LORD my God.’” In the Beatitudes our Lord said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Mt. 5:4). In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul spoke of a “godly sorrow.” In the depths of your relationship with God have you ever experienced this? When we sin against God we should experience our most intense grief. In verse 3 of Psalm 6, David speaks of His soul being “greatly dismayed.”

The following principles of leadership emerge from biblical teaching: 1. Christian leaders should be certain that their goal is to serve God and others, not to receive the title or honor that comes with leadership. 2. Leaders should not use their position for their own advantage or comfort. No task should be “beneath” them – although some tasks may be delegated. They should not ask others to do what they are unwilling to do themselves. 3. Leaders will seek to distinguish their own preferences from the will and welfare of the group as a whole. 4. Normally the position should seek the leader. There may be some situations in which persons may apply or volunteer. Nevertheless, when someone strongly desires a particular responsibility, his or her motivation should be carefully examined. 5. We must learn to see each other as valuable to the Lord and basically equal in his sight.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Crackers 45 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1/2 c Molasses
3 tb Butter or margarine, cut
Into pieces
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Pepper
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Plain yogurt

INSTRUCTIONS

"These extremely thin crackers have an intriguing balance of peppery snap
and rich sweetness. They are addictive by themselves and make an elegant
hors d'oeuvre when spread with herbed cream cheese. 350~F. 10 to 15 minutes
Combine the molasses and butter in a small sauce pan. Stir over low heat
until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
In the food processor or a large bowl, combine the flour, pepper, and salt
and mix well. Stir the yogurt into the molasses mixture and then add to the
flour mixture and blend to form a smooth dough.
Remove the dough to a lightly-floured sheet of wax paper or lightly
buttered aluminum foil and shape it into a log or cylinder approximately
1-1/2 inches thick and 12 inches long. Roll the log in the wax paper or
foil and chill until firm, 45 minutes minimum.
Preheat the oven to 350~F.
When ready to bake, slice the log into 1/4-inch slices. Roll each slice
with a floured rolling pin to form very thin ovals, about 1/16 inch thick.
The ovals may stick either to your rolling pin or to your rolling surface.
Gently peel them off. Place the ovals on a lightly greased or
parchemnt-lined baking sheet and prick each one 2 or 3 times with the tines
of a fork.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the crackers are medium brown. Those that are
rolled slightly thinner than the others will brown first. Be ready to
remove those from the sheet to cool while the others continue baking. Cool
on racks. The crackers will crispen while cooling. Yield: 40-45.
