We Love God!

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

The faithful and laborious clergyman of a very large and populous parish had been accustomed, for a long series of years, to preserve notes of his visits to the afflicted, with remarks on the outcome of their affliction – whether life or death, and of the subsequent conduct of those who recovered. He stated, that, during forty years, he had visited more than two thousand people apparently drawing near to death, and who revealed such signs of penitence as would have led him to indulge a good hope of their eternal safety – if they had died at that moment. When they were restored to life and health – he eagerly looked that they should bring forth fruits fit for repentance. But alas! Of the two thousand, only two people manifested an abiding and saving change! The rest, when the terrors of eternity ceased to be in immediate prospect, forgot their pious impressions and their solemn vows – and returned with new avidity to their former worldly mindedness and sinful pursuits, “as the dog returns to its vomit again, and as the sow that was washed to its wallowing in the mire.”
Gorham Abbott

I contend that many Christians want to speak to others about the Lord but do not for fear that the observable, daily sin in their lives is too contradictory for them to witness….If God does not use sinners as His witnesses, there will be no human witnesses, since there are no perfect people…This does not change the fact that the more Christlike our lives, the more convincing our words about Christ. We need to do what we can to eliminate any sin that makes our words look inconsistent. But while attempting to do that we must be convinced that we cannot delay our witnessing until we reach sinless perfection. Otherwise, we would never share the gospel! Part of the beauty of our message is that God saves sinners, sinners like us.

    1/2 c Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

    Preparation: If using dried shitakes, soak in water to refresh. Cut tempeh
into thin slices.  Cut onion in thin slivers. Mince garlic. Remove strings
from snow peas, if necessary. Remove stems from shitkes, and slice
mushrooms thinly.
Heat 2 TB canola oil in saucepan or wok, gradually raising heat to medium.
Fry tempeh slices in batches, until one side becomes golden; turn and fry
other side until golden. Remove and drain on paper towel.
Add 1 TB canola oil and sesame oil to pan; raise heat to medium-hot. Add
snow peas,mushrooms, onions, and garlic; saute ONLY until onions are
translucent, not brown, and snow peas are bright green. Then add drained
tempeh.  While stirring and tossing, add the teriyaki sauce; be careful to
turn the heat down, as the sauce will sizzle 'dramatically' according to
the author. Season with pepper.

desired.
