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

The foreknowledge spoken of (in Romans 8:29) is foreknowledge of persons, not events. The statement reads, “whom He foreknew…” You see this as well in Romans 11:2, speaking of His endearment to Israel: “God did not reject His people whom He foreknew.” Therefore we can deduce that foreknowledge as related to salvation is not just seeing a person's conversion experience prior to election and therefore electing on the basis of the individual’s choice. It is a foreloving of persons.

Pastors of many growing churches preach almost weekly about healthy self-esteem, as if it were taught on every page of Scripture. Too many Christians never see that self-love comes out of a culture that prizes the individual over the community and then reads that basic principle into the pages of Scripture. The Bible, however, rightly understood, asks the question, “Why are you so concerned about yourself?” Furthermore, it indicates that our culture’s proposed cure – increased self-love – is actually the disease. If we fail to recognize the reality and depth of our sin problem, God will become less important, and people will become more important.

Cut the chicken breast into triple-matchstick-sized slivers, rub these with
salt and cornflour, and fold into beaten egg-white. Roast or fry the
peanuts over a low heat until slightly brown and crush or grind coarsely.
Cut the spring onions into short segments, and the pepper into shreds
(discarding the pips). Mix the liquid ingredients for the sauce thoroughly.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken slivers and turn them
in the hot oil for 1 minutes. Drain away any excess oil. Heat the lard in a
separate pan. Add the chopped peppers and spring onions to fry for 1 1/2
minutes.  Pour in the liquid ingredients for the sauce. Stir quickly to
mix.  When the liquid thickens return the chicken to the pan. Turn and stir
the chicken in the sauce. Sprinkle the peanuts over the chicken. Turn it
over quickly a few times, and serve immediately in a well-heated serving
dish.  The roasted peanuts add an aromatic flavor to this chicken dish.
