We Love God!

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

Jesus comes forgiving and changing the immoral. He bridges the chasm between sordid and glorious. He invites us to cross over from death to life. What was perverted can be converted. To disagree with immorality is not simply to condemn the immoral. It is to identify particular forms of lostness that need finding. We worship a seeking and finding God. We have been sought out and found by a Savior. He reproves the unruly in order to invite us to come seek help.

If you want to raise a Pharisee, just follow these simple steps (sarcasm!). 1. Make the Christian home all about rule-keeping (do’s and don’t’s), but never explain to them why we should follow God’s Word. 2. Add your own rules to God’s Word and make them more important than God’s Word. 3. Strictly enforce the rules on your children, but give yourself a pass. 4. Show your children nothing about grace, forgiveness, mercy and love. 5. Preach at them until they are blue in the face (bore them with the Bible) and never listen to what they have to say about God’s Word. 6. Make Jesus a burden rather than a blessing – make God’s Word a bondage rather than a liberation. 7. Give them no opportunity to think spiritually for themselves. 8. Fail to guide them in a spiritual worldview – teaching them how to process life with the Bible. 9. Praise their externals regardless of their motives. 10. Teach them to obey only because they have to and not because they should also want to as God’s commands come from a loving and trustworthy Father. 11. Make your disciple punishment rather than correction. 12. Demand self-reformation, rather than pointing them to Christ-transformation by grace. 13. Teach them to obey you as God rather than to obey God by obeying you. 14. Use Scripture and church as punishment. 15. Never pray for them. 16. Correct them more than you encourage them. 17. Beat your kids into external conformity, often to simply make yourself look good and do nothing to shepherd their hearts.

    INGREDIENTS

    4 oz Good quality orange sherbet
    1 oz (or so-by taste) Southern
    Comfort
    1 oz (or so-by taste) Galiano
    1 Splash
    Ice — as needed
    Sweet OJ

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Thought I might add a drink I developed many moons ago----has of course
been somewhat "invented" and been around for a while by others, but not in
the same way. Hope someone tries and enjoys--- Place in blender and blend
contents to slush consistency.  Pour into tall thin (Hurricane) glass and
top off with 1 oz. Sloe Gin. You can vary amounts as to taste but a nice
refreshing drink that can really put you on your B*** if you're not
careful.  Last time I fixed them I fell off my bike twice trying to get to
Denny's with the munchies LOL
