We Love God!

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

So why does our society first dismiss and then rationalize and justify sin and finally declare that biblical vices are in actuality virtues to be celebrated? The reason is very clear – they do it to minimize their guilt. Yet guilt is a universal response when we violate God’s laws, regardless of how we chose to reshape and redefine them.

What the Bible Says About Joy: 1. Jesus’ aim in all He taught was the joy of His people (Jn. 15:11). 2. Joy is what God fills us with when we trust in Christ (Rom. 15:13). 3. The kingdom of God is joy (Rom. 14:17). 4. Joy is the fruit of God’s Spirit within us (Gal. 5:22). 5. Joy is the aim of everything the apostles did and wrote (2 Cor. 1:24). 6. Becoming a Christian is finding a joy that makes you willing to forsake everything (Mat. 13:44). 7. Joy is nourished and sustained by the word of God in the Bible (Psm. 19:8). 8. Joy will overtake all sorrow for those who trust Christ (Psm. 126:5; 30:5) 9. God Himself is our joy (Psm. 43:4; 16:11). 10. Joy in God outstrips all earthly joy (Psm. 4:7) 11. If your joy is in God, no one can take your joy from you (Jn. 16:22). 12. God calls all nations and peoples to join in the joy He offers to all who believe. No racism. No ethnocentrism (Psm. 67:4; Psm. 66:1). 13. The whole Christian message from beginning to end is good news of great joy (Lk. 2:10; Isa. 51:11). 14. When we meet Christ at His second coming we will enter into his indestructible joy (Mt. 25:23).

100 g Clarified butter; melted (3 1/2oz)

INSTRUCTIONS

Pre-heat the oven to 150°C/300°F/gas mark 2.
Mix the clarified butter and ghee together then brush a little over
the base and sides of a 15 x 30cm (6x12 inch) deep sided baking tin.
Place into the baking tin 2 sheets of filo pastry then brush with the
butter mixture. Repeat 10 times so a total of 20 sheets are layered,
with every 2nd sheet covered in butter.
Place the pistachio/almonds into a medium bowl then add the cinnamon,
olive oil, honey and rose water and mix to combine. Spoon over the
layered filo and spread out to cover totally. Drizzle the cream over
the nuts. Repeat layering 2 sheets of filo pastry then brushing with
butter 8 times, adding another 16 sheets in total.
Using a sharp knife cut through lengthwise into 4 rows. Cut each row
diagonally into slices 5cm (2 inches) long. Cover with foil. Place in
the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until golden brown and each layer of
pastry is cooked and crispy. Remove from the oven and pour over the
cold sugar syrup, then leave to cool. When cool, serve with ice cream
or as a petit four with coffee.
