We Love God!

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

Moral indignation, even moral outrage, may on occasion be proof of love – love for the victim, love for the Church of God, love for the truth, love for God and his glory. Not to be outraged may in such cases be evidence, not of gentleness and love, but of a failure of love.
D.A. Carson

Surely Paul could have made the gospel more palatable – and less dangerous – by saying it was about something else. Something cleaner and less ridiculous than the cross. Something more glorious. Less disgusting. He didn’t do that, though. “I decided,” Paul said, “to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). In the face of the worst cultural prejudice imaginable, he fixed the entire gospel squarely and immovably on the fact that Jesus was tacked to a stauros and left to die. If he had been trying to find a surefire way to turn first-century people off from his “good news,” he couldn’t have done better than that! So why did he do it? It’s simple. He did it because he knew that leaving the cross out, or running past it with a glance, or making it peripheral to the gospel, or allowing anything else to displace it at the center of the gospel would make it, finally, no gospel at all.

INSTRUCTIONS

Comment: every Thanksgiving I make a breadbasket of homemade breads. I
include various breads , rolls, breadsticks, biscuits and muffins in it.
tomato bread is a favorite!
Lightly grease large bowl and two loaf pans with olive oil. In small
saucepan, heat juice, sauce and 2 tbsp olive oil to 120 F. Combine 3 cups
flour with yeast and remaining ingedients. Pour in tomatoe mix and beat 3
minutes. Gradually add remaining flour, mixing by hand, if necessary, until
it holds together enough to turn out on floured surface. The dough is quite
sticky, and yuou may need to add a little more flour, but not too much, or
you will have a dry bread. Knead about 5 minutes, until dough smooths out,
place in greased bowl, cover and let rise 1 hour. Punch dough down, let
rest 15 minutes, then shape into 2 loaves, and place in pans. Cover pans
and let rise 45 minutes.Preheat oven to 375 F Bake loaves 10 minutes,
reduce heat to 350 F and bake 30-40 minutes longerBread is done when loaf
sounds hollow when thumped with knuckle. Tip loaves out immediately onto
wire rack to cool
