We Love God!

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

Christians can be and ought to be content with the simple necessities of life… First, when you have God near you and for you, you don’t need extra money or extra things to give you peace and security… God is always better than gold… Second, we can be content with the simplicity because the deepest, most satisfying delights God gives us through creation are free gifts from nature and from loving relationships with people. After your basic needs are met, accumulated money begins to diminish your capacity for these pleasures rather than increase them. Buying things contributes absolutely nothing to the heart’s capacity for joy… Third, we should be content with the simple necessities of life because we could invest the extra we make for what really counts (God’s kingdom).
John Piper

As husbands sacrifice their lives for the sake of their wives - loving, leading, serving, protecting, and providing for them – the world gets a glimpse of God's grace. Sinners see that Christ has gone to a cross where He suffered, bled, and died for them so that they could experience eternal salvation through submission to Him. They also see in a wife's relationship with her husband that such submission isn't a burden to bear. Marriage onlookers observe a wife joyfully and continually experiencing her husband's sacrificial love for her and then gladly and spontaneously submitting in selfless love to him. In this visible representation of the gospel, the world realizes that following Christ isn't a matter of forced duty. Instead, it's a means to full, eternal, and absolute delight.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR MARINATING THE PORK
*available at Asian markets.
Marinate the pork:
In a small bowl combine the pork gently with the vinegar, the soy
sauce, and the sesame oil and let it marinate at room temperature for
20 minutes.
In a bowl soak the noodles in warm water to cover for 15 minutes,
drain them, and cut them into 3- to 4-inch lengths.
In a wok or large heavy skillet heat the vegetable oil over
moderately high heat until it just begins to smoke and in it stir-fry
1/4 cup of the scallion, the garlic, and the gingerroot for 30
seconds. Add the pork and the chili paste and stir-fry the mixture,
breaking up the lumps, until the meat is no longer pink. Add the
noodles, the broth, the Scotch, the soy sauce, the vinegar, and the
sugar and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5
minutes, or until the noodles have absorbed the liquid. Transfer the
mixture to a platter, drizzle it with the sesame oil, and sprinkle it
with the coriander and the remaining 1/4 cup scallion.
Serves 4 to 6.
