We Love God!

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

Things that draw people to embrace legalism. 1. Legalism provides us with a sense of security in that it enables us always to know precisely what to do in every conceivable moral dilemma. There is a certain sort of psychological safety in being stiff morally. 2. Legalism nurtures pride. “Look at what I’m willing to forego that others embrace! Others may indulge themselves but I have a discipline and a moral standard they lack. I possess a will-power that really loves God. Therefore, God really loves me” (with the implication that God doesn’t really love those who choose another path, or at least doesn’t love them as much as He loves me!). 3. It provides an excuse to maintain control. One need never fear the unknown because there is always a rule or law (of my own making, of course) to govern every situation. After all, without rules things will get out control (or so legalists think). 4. There is comfort in conformity. It is always reassuring when other people live like we do, even if there is no explicit biblical warrant for it. 5. Some embrace legalism out of a genuine, heart-felt concern for other believers. They are actually motivated by love and compassion, worried that the spiritual welfare of others is at risk. They fear that others will assuredly “fall” if they walk down a certain path, even though that path is nowhere prescribed in Scripture (see especially Romans 14:4).

Just as our justification is from God, so our sanctification is from God, but unlike our justification, which is monergistic work, in sanctification God calls us to work together with Him to mature as Christians. As Christians we can never say to God: “The reason I still sin, or the reason I am not maturing as quickly as I would like, is because you have not given me enough grace.”

INGREDIENTS

1 Beef brisket (8 to 12) pounds, trimmed
2 c Mansion barbecue spice mix
1 Recipe beer mop sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Have your butcher trim the brisket with a thick layer of fat on one side,
it's called a packer-trimmed brisket.
The day before you want to serve the dish, pat the Mansion Barbecue Spice
Mix liberally all over the brisket. Place the meat in a plastic trash bag
and refrigerate it, preferably overnight.
The next morning, remove the brisket from the refrigerator. Either pre-heat
the oven or the barbecue pit to 210 degrees F. Place the brisket on a rack
in a roasting pan or directly into the pit on the opposite side of the
firebox making sure the trim side is up., to ensure basting juices.
Maintain the temperature of the oven or barbecue pit between 180 and 220
degrees F until the brisket is well done, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours per pound.
Baste with the beer mop sauce every hour or so. When the meat is done
remove it from the oven/barbecue pit and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then
cut the fatty top section away from the leaner bottom portion. Trim the
excess fat from both pieces and slice against the grain.
Serve with barbecue sauce on the side.
