We Love God!

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

We talk about pearly gates and golden streets, and white robes, and harps of gold, and crowns of amaranth, and all that; but if an angel could speak to us of heaven, he would smile and say, “All these fine things are but child's talk, and ye are little children, and ye cannot understand the greatness of eternal bliss, and therefore God has given you a child’s horn book, and an alphabet, in which you may learn the first rough letters of what heaven is, but what it is thou dost not know. O mortal, thine eye hath never yet beheld its splendours; thine ear hath never yet been ravished with its melodies; thy heart has never been transported with its peerless joys.”

C.H. Spurgeon

1. Jesus himself testified to his coming resurrection from the dead (Mk. 8:31; cf. Mt. 17:22, Lk. 9:22). 2. The tomb was empty on Easter (Luke 24:3). 3. The disciples were almost immediately transformed from men who were hopeless and fearful after the crucifixion (Lk. 24:21; Jn. 20:19) into men who were confident and bold witnesses of the resurrection (Ac. 2:24; 3:15; 4:2). 4. Paul claimed that, not only had he seen the risen Christ, but that 500 others had seen him also, and many were still alive when he made this public claim (1 Cor. 15:6). 5. The sheer existence of a thriving, empire-conquering early Christian church supports the truth of the resurrection claim. 6. The Apostle Paul’s conversion supports the truth of the resurrection (Ac. 9). 7. The New Testament witnesses do not bear the stamp of dupes or deceivers. 8. There is a self-authenticating glory in the gospel of Christ’s death and resurrection as narrated by the biblical witnesses (Jn. 16:13).

Hi Scott, hi Stacy! Know you love desserts, so I thought I'd share this
fabulous recipe from Bon Appetit with you. Granted, it is a bit
time-consuming, but should keep you busy - and...it is so worth the wait.
Whisk yolks, 6 tablespoons sugar, and Marsala in large metal bowl to blend.
Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow water to touch
bottom of bowl). Using portable electric mixer beat until mixture triples
in volume about 5 minutes. Cover zabaglione and refrigerate until well
chilled. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead). Place mascarpone in large bowl.
Using electric mixer whip cream with 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl to
soft peaks. Fold into mascarpone. Gently fold in zabaglione. Refrigerate
until well chilled about 3 hours. Combine espresso coffee, rum, 3
tablespoons sugar, and vanilla in small bowl. Brush over both sides of cake
pieces. Place generous tablespoon mascarpone mixture in bottom of each of 8
balloon-shaped wineglasses. Set cake square or wedge into each at angle.
Top with remaining mascarpone mixture. Combine shaved chocolate and ground
coffee 03/13/92 2:41 PM beans. Sprinkle over desserts. Refrigerate until
chilled at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours. NOTE: Instead of 12x6x1
layer sponge cake cut into eight 3 squares you may use a 9 round sponge
cake cut into 8 wedges. Take all the time you need to enjoy this
scrumptious recipe! Rita in ever so sunny and beautiful
