We Love God!

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

We must not observe any religious holiday. We should attach no spiritual, religious significance to any day. Yet, we do not need to act like super-pious religious idiots over a day that has absolutely no religious significance. I would never teach a child that such a thing as Santa Claus exist, or that Christ was born on Christmas day. But, as Paul said concerning idols, Santa Claus is nothing and Christmas is nothing. Did you know that every DAY of the week, every PLANET in the universe, and many of the CARS we drive are named after pagan gods? Yet, we still call Sunday Sunday, Mars Mars, and a Saturn a Saturn. No one would ever dream of calling us pagans for doing so. We worship our God on Sunday, and would laugh at anyone who suggested that we observe the pagan Roman holiday called “Sun’s Day” in doing so. If your car is a Saturn, use it for the glory of God; and laugh at anyone who thinks that you are worshipping the Roman god of agriculture by driving it. We must not, and I trust do not, worship Christmas trees and lights, or even attach spiritual significance to Christmas day. However, I do suggest that we seize this opportunity afforded us by Divine providence to tell people who Christ is, why he came into this world, what he did, and how they may obtain his salvation. It is no accident that once every year every human being in the world is confronted with the fact that the Son of God assumed human flesh and came into the world to save men. Certainly, no one can think that it is wrong for believers, during this season of the year, to express thanks and praise to God for his unspeakable gift, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is never wrong, but always right to think of him, speak of him, and sing his praise. Rather than not singing Watts’ grand old hymn, Joy To The World, we ought to sing it year round.

FOR THE PIZZA
To make Garlic-Shallot Butter with Lemon: 1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a
nonstick saucepan over medium- high heat. Add shallot, garlic and thyme.
Cook, stirring until mixture is light brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
2.      Add salt, pepper, wine, lemon juice and chicken base. Cook until
the mixture is reduced to about 1/2 cup (toward the end of the reduction,
reduce the heat to low and stir frequently to prevent scorching).
3.      Remove the pan from the heat; quickly and thoroughly whisk in the
remaining 4 tablespoons of butter.
To make Rosemary Potatoes: 4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine sliced
potatoes with the remainder of the ingredients; coat thoroughly. Transfer
the potato slices to a sheet pan; spread them out in a single layer, do not
overlap. Discard leftover marinade--do not pour it over the potatoes.
minutes. Some of the slices may need to be flipped over to promote even
browning. Remove the potatoes from the oven when they begin to brown. Use a
steel spatula to remove the potatoes from the sheet pan. Place potatoes on
paper towels at room temperature to drain off any excess oil. Do not
refrigerate.
To make Grilled Garlic Chicken: 6. Prepare a hot grill.
7.      Combine garlic, soy sauce, salt and olive oil. Marinate the chicken
breasts in the garlic oil for about 15 minutes.
8.      Grill the chicken breasts for 5 to 7 minutes on each side (discard
any uncooked marinade). Remove the cooked chicken from the grill and chill
thoroughly. Cut into 1/2 x 3/4-inch cubes and set aside in the
refrigerator.
To make the pizza: 9. Place the pizza stone in the center of the oven and
preheat to 500 degrees F. for one hour before cooking the pizza.
10.     Use a large spoon to spread 2 tablespoons of Garlic-Shallot Butter
over the surface of the prepared pizza dough, within the rim. Cover the
butter with half the mozzarella. Distribute half the grilled garlic chicken
evenly over the cheese.
rosemary potatoes over the other toppings, spaced about 1 inch apart.
12.     Transfer the pizza to the oven; bake until the crust is crisp and
golden and the cheese at the center is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. When
cooked, carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle half the parsley
over the hot potato topping. Slice and serve
pizzas may be prepared simultaneously if you are careful in placing the
pizzas at opposite corners of your pizza stone

A Message from our Provider:

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
