We Love God!

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

The essence of man's sin, the sum of his moral depravity, is to love himself supremely; to seek himself finally and exclusively; to make self, in one shape or another, the center to which all his busy thoughts, anxious cares and diligent pursuits, constantly tend. Self-love is the most active and reigning principle in fallen nature! SELF is the great idol which mankind is naturally disposed to worship... "Love is not self-seeking" (1 Cor. 13:5).
John Angell James

The worst thing that can happen to a Christian is not persecution, physical injury, or death. In many respects, these are the best things that can happen to us. Jesus said that we are blessed when we are “persecuted for righteousness’ sake” (Matthew 5:10). Paul decided to “take pleasure in infirmities…for Christ's sake… For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:10). Jesus said to His followers, “My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do” (Luke 12:4). This makes perfect sense, because for the believer, “to be absent from the body” is “to be present with the Lord.” None of these earthly threats should hold any sway over us whatsoever.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the rinsed beans in a bowl, add 2 to 3 cups of water and soak

keep them moist.=B6 2. Pour the beans and the water in which they
were soaked into a heavy saucepan and add 2 to 3 more cups of water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat and simmer,
partially covered, for about 45 minutes, until the beans are cooked
but still firm. Check occasionally and add water if necessary. Drain
the beans, reserving the cooking liquid.=B6 3. Melt the lard in a
heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the beans and lightly fry them in
the lard. Set aside.=B6 4. Melt the drippings in a large heavy pot

reserved bean-cooking liquid to the pot. Stir in all the remaining
ingredients. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook,
uncovered, for 1/2 hour longer. Stir occasionally. Add water only if

when curiosity becomes unbearable and courage is strong. Adjust
seasonings.=B6 Posted to MM-Recipes Digest  by tbankerd@leading.net
