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

"Fornication" is unequivocally stated to be the only legitimate ground for which a man may put away his wife. The word used here is the more generic term for sexual uncleanness, namely fornication (porneia). This term may be used of all kinds of illicit sexual intercourse and may apply to such on the part of unmarried personas, in whose case the sin would not be in the specific sense of adultery. But though it is the generic word that is used here (cf. also Matt. 19:9), it is not to be supposed that the sense is perplexed thereby. What Jesus sets in the forefront is the sin of illicit sexual intercourse. It is, of course, implied that such on the part of a married woman is not only fornication but also adultery in the specific sense, for the simple reason that it constitutes sexual infidelity to her spouse. And this is the only case in which, according to Christ's unambiguous assertion, a man may dismiss his wife without being involved in the sin which Jesus proceeds to characterize as making his wife to be an adulteress.
John Murray

In such trials God still truly blesses our faithfulness to Him, but these blessings can as well involve the mercy of removing us from the grasp of this world’s pleasures as rewarding us with worldly delights (Heb. 12:11; James 1:2-4). Whether God chooses the ordinary path of rewarding our goodness with observable blessing, or the extraordinary path of blessing our obedience with trials that will strengthen our character and stretch our faith, His love is never lacking (Heb. 12: 6-11).

    INSTRUCTIONS

    This  recipe makes 5-1/2 gallons. Freeze cherries a couple  days  before
brewing. Defrost in the fridge.  While wort is boiling, remove stems and
crush cherries. After boiling, pour wort over cherries in fermenter. Add
cold  water  and pitch yeast. After a couple days,  rack  to  secondary,
straining out cherries. I decided to use lactose because several people
thought  Papazian's Cherries in the Snow was a bit dry. Primary Ferment: 2
days Secondary Ferment: 6--8 weeks
