We Love God!

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

Satan doth not tempt God’s children because they have sin in them, but because they have grace in them. Had they no grace, the devil would not disturb them… Though to be tempted is a trouble, yet to think why you are tempted is a comfort.
Thomas Watson

Why twelve? Why not eight? Why not twenty-four? The number twelve was filled with symbolic importance. There were twelve tribes in Israel. But Israel was apostate. The Judaism of Jesus’ time represented a corruption of the faith of the Old Testament. Israel had abandoned divine grace in favor of works-religion. Their religion was legalistic. It was shot through with hypocrisy, self-righteous works, man-made regulations, and meaningless ceremonies. It was heretical. It was based on physical descent from Abraham rather than the faith of Abraham. In choosing twelve apostles, Christ was in effect appointing new leadership for the new covenant. And the apostles represented the new leaders of the true Israel of God – consisting of people who believed the gospel and were following the faith of Abraham (cf. Romans 4:16). In other words, the twelve apostles symbolized judgment against the twelve tribes of Old Testament Israel.

SALAD
DRESSING
This simple but rather exotic composed salad marries crisp fresh vegetables
and smooth tofu with a spicy peanut dressing for an unusual Indonesian
inspired taste. ~------------------------------------------------------
~----------------- Steam the beans, cabbage and carrots for 2 to 3 minutes,
or until tender-crisp, and cool. Arrange the cooked vegetables, cucumber,
sprouts and tofu on a serving platter.
In a small saucepan, mix the peanut butter, water, lemon juice, Tabasco
sauce, salt, garlic and lemon peel; stir over low heat until smooth. Remove
from the heat and discard the garlic and lemon zest. Stir in the yogurt.
Serve the dressing warm over the salad.
Lagniappe - One-quarter teaspoon of Tabasco sauce perks up any salad
dressing.  Use more for a spicier taste.
