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

So parents, where are your teenagers with the Lord? I am not asking if they come to church or even profess Jesus. The demons believe in Jesus and thousands of unbelievers will be attending churches all over America this morning. I am asking you where is there heart with the Lord? Do they have an interest to read their Bibles? Are they engaged in a ministry at the church? Are they reading any Christian literature or listening to any Christian music? Are they posting anything about their faith on social media? Have they memorized Scripture lately? Do they enjoy being with other Christian teens? Would they come to church without your prodding? Are they telling any of their friends about the Savior? As Jesus said, the fruit reveals the nature of the tree. Based on the fruit, is Jesus Christ really number one in their lives?

God shows us the importance of the commandment [to honor our parents in Exodus 20] in several different ways: 1. First of all, notice that He puts it first in the list of our horizontal responsibilities. Our vertical responsibilities are addressed in commands one through four to Him, but when He begins to express our horizontal responsibilities, our responsibilities in our human relations with one another, the very first thing He says is, “Honor your father and your mother.” 2. Secondly, it is interesting. If we were to go ahead and read the laws all the way up through Exodus 24, you would find that God attaches the same penalty to disobedience of parents that He attaches to blasphemy and idolatry and the worship of false gods. In both cases, blasphemy and idolatry, worship of false gods, and in the case of disobedience to parents, in the laws of Moses the death penalty is given. 3. Thirdly, notice that this command flows out of and is closely connected to what is said in the first four commands. The first four commands basically said, “Worship God only. Revere God only.” And then the fifth commandment, what is the first word out of God’s mouth to us about our parents? “Revere your parents.” Isn’t it fascinating that He could spend four commands, and especially the first two commands, claiming to Himself the exclusive right to our reverence, to our worship, and to our adoration. And then in the very first word out of His mouth to us in how we relate to one another, He can say, “Revere your father and mother.”

    INGREDIENTS

    8 sl Brioche; each cut 1/2" thick
    Unsalted butter; to taste
    8 sl Canadian bacon
    8 lg Fresh eggs
    === FOR THE SAUCE ===
    1/4 c Dry white wine
    2 tb Tarragon vinegar
    2 tb Finely-minced shallot
    3 Egg yolks
    2 tb Cold water
    1 tb Cold unsalted butter
    1/2 c Melted unsalted butter
    Salt; to taste
    Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
    2 tb Minced fresh tarragon

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush slices of Brioche with butter, arrange
on a baking sheet and bake in oven until lightly golden. Heat a grill pan
over moderate heat until hot. Add bacon and cook for 2 minutes on each
side, or until lightly browned. In an egg poacher filled with simmering
water, add the eggs and simmer them until cooked to taste. Make the sauce:
In a saucepan combine the wine, vinegar and shallots and simmer the mixture
over moderately-high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons. Add the egg yolks
and water and whisk until thick enough to see bottom of pan between
strokes. Add butter and whisk until melted. Slowly add melted butter, a
tablespoon at a time, removing pan from heat from time to time to prevent
curdling, and continue to add butter until sauce is smooth and creamy.

slices of bread on each of four serving plates, top with bacon and egg and
nap with sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs. This recipe yields 4 servings.
