We Love God!

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

The rod is not a matter of an angry parent venting his wrath upon a small helpless child. The rod is a faithful parent, recognizing his child’s dangerous state, employing a God-given remedy. The issue is not a parental insistence on being obeyed. The issue is the child’s need to be rescued from death (Proverbs 23:14) – the death that results from rebellion left unchallenged in the heart.

Here, then, is the crucial question which we have been leading up to. Have we ever opened our door to Christ? Have we ever invited Him in? This was exactly the question which I needed to have put to me. For, intellectually speaking, I had believed in Jesus all my life, on the other side of the door. I had regularly struggled to say my prayers through the key-hole. I had even pushed pennies under the door in a vain attempt to pacify Him. I had been baptized, yes and confirmed as well. I went to church, read my Bible, had high ideals, and tried to be good and do good. But all the time, often without realizing it, I was holding Christ at arm’s length, and keeping Him outside. I knew that to open the door might have momentous consequences. I am profoundly grateful to Him for enabling me to open the door. Looking back now over more than fifty years, I realize that that simple step has changed the entire direction, course and quality of my life.

6 tb Sugar
3 Egg yolks
1 ts Pure vanilla extract
3 oz Bittersweet chocolate; melted, cooled
3 Egg whites; room temperature
1 pn Salt
1 1/2 pt Pistachio ice cream; slightly softened

Nonstick cooking spray
=== SWISS MERINGUE ===
4 lg Egg whites; room temperature
1 c Sugar
1 pn Cream of tartar
1/2 ts Pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment
paper, and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Combine 3 tablespoons
sugar and yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer, and whisk, on
medium speed, until pale yellow and thick, about 15 minutes. Add
vanilla, and fold in melted chocolate just to combine. Combine the
egg whites and pinch of salt in a bowl of electric mixer; whip on
medium speed until frothy. Add 3 tablespoons sugar; beat until stiff.
Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Carefully pour batter
out onto prepared cake pan. Bake until cake is set and top is dull,
about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on a wire rack.
Spray a 5-cup-capacity metal bowl with cooking spray; line with
plastic. Pack base of bowl with pistachio ice cream; layer cherry ice
cream over pistachio. Pack firmly, cover surface with plastic wrap,
and place in freezer. Freeze until the ice cream is very hard, at
least 2 hours or up to 24 hours in advance. Place cake on baking
sheet. Remove ice cream from the freezer, and invert bowl over cake.
Keep the ice cream covered with plastic wrap, and return to freezer.
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Fill pastry bag fitted with Ateco #5 star
tip with meringue; pipe out onto ice cream in a decorative fashion,
or spoon meringue over ice cream, and smooth with a rubber spatula.
If ice cream starts to soften, return to freezer for 15 minutes.
Place in oven, and bake until meringue just starts to brown, about 4
to 6 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve immediately. SWISS
MERINGUE: Fill a medium saucepan one-quarter full with water. Set the
saucepan over medium heat, and bring water to a simmer. Combine egg
whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of an
electric mixer, and place over a saucepan. Whisk constantly until
sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 3 1/2
minutes. Test by rubbing between your fingers. Transfer bowl to
electric mixer, and whip, starting on low speed, gradually increasing
to high until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add
vanilla, and mix until combined. (Makes 4 cups)
