We Love God!

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

Reconciliation…always portrays God as the reconciler and sinners as the ones reconciled, since it was human sin that ruptured the relationship between God and man (cf. Isa. 59:2)… Thus, reconciliation is not something man does but what he receives; it is not what he accomplishes but what he embraces. Reconciliation does not happen when man decides to stop rejecting God but when God decides to stop rejecting man. It is a divine provision by which God’s holy displeasure against alienated sinners is appeased, His hostility against them removed, and a harmonious relationship between Him and them established. Reconciliation occurs because God was graciously willing to design a way to have all the sins of those who are His removed from them “as far as the east is from the west” (Psm. 103:12), “cast all their sins into the depths of the sea” (Mic. 7:19), and “cast all [their] sins behind [His] back” (Isa. 38:17).
John MacArthur

Press right home to your conscience the question, “What do I have of the mind of Christ?” Does my heart answer, does my disposition correspond, to the holy, meek, humble, forgiving, benevolent, patient, self-denying mind of Christ? Do men who know the beauty and glory of the Original, as it is delineated on the page of the gospel, when they see me, say, “There is the image of Christ!” Or do they look skeptically on, and after standing in silence for some time, profess they can see little or no resemblance? Oh, be satisfied with nothing short of a copy of Christ’s heart into yours!

FILLING
1) Prepare Roll:  Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Line jelly-roll pan with waxed
paper.  Coat with nonstick cooking spray.
2) Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small
bowl.
3) Beat eggs in large bowl at medium speed for 2 minutes or until slightly
thickened. Beat in sugar, a tablespoon at a time; continue beating until
very thick and lemon colored, 5 to 7 minutes.  On lowest speed, beat in
pumpkin just until blended.  With rubber spatula, fold in flour mixture in
2 batches. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
4) Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until top of cake
springs back when lightly touched in center. Generously sieve
confectioners' sugar over clean kitchen towel.  When cake is done,
immediately loosen edges; invert onto towel.  Remove waxed paper. Sprinkle
cake with additional confectioners' sugar.  From a short end, roll up cake
with towel, jelly-roll fashion.  Let cool on wire rack for 1 hour.
5) Meanwhile, prepare filling:  Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in
bowl for 5 to 8 minutes until creamy.  Stir in chocolate and almonds.
6) Unroll cake. Spread with cheese mixture.  Reroll without towel.
Refrigerate at least for 4 hours or overnight, covered.
