We Love God!

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

Jacob is about to enter the Promised Land. He will be one of the venerated Patriarchs of the faith. But before Jacob can become Israel, the man must be broken. Jacob needs to learn that his life is to be one of continual striving with God, but doing it with full dependence on God. He will learn that with God there is a continual heat from the refiner’s fire, but through the adversity there is an unspeakable joy in the journey. And though God probably won’t be wrestling with any of us physically like He did with Jacob, there is a continual tension of finding our greatest peace when we are most intimate in close communion with God. At times we struggle, but in the pain we learn to submit to His will, allow Him to expose our defects, yield to the wounds He creates and then trust Him that the pain is for our greatest good as the “old man” is further put to death. If we act in the flesh and run away or defend ourselves or blame others or whine and complain, we’ll never experience this. As creatures so prone to follow our selfish instincts, there is a serenity that comes when God wrestles us to the ground, breaks us further of our pride and reminds us that our sufficiency is only in Him.

Theological Triage: Christians divide from non-Christians over primary doctrines, and Christians are willing to die for these doctrines. Churches distinguish themselves from one another over secondary doctrines, yet they partner together around primary doctrines. Christians in the same church disagree with one another over tertiary doctrines, but it does not in any way decrease the intimacy of their fellowship with one another.

INGREDIENTS

2 lb Fish bones from non-oily fish

1 lg Onion; peeled, diced
2 Celery stalks; including leaves, washed, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash the bones in cold water to remove any scales or unwanted materials,
then combine all ingredients in a large pot. Quickly bring just to a boil,
then lower the heat to a slow simmer and cook 1 hour. While the stock
simmers, skim and discard any coagulated proteins from the fish bones that
rise to the surface. Remove from the heat, pour the stock through a
fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth, and then cool as quickly as
possible in an ice water bath. Refrigerated and covered, the fish stock
should keep well for up to 1 week. The stock can also be kept frozen as
long as 6 months. This recipe yields 1 to 1 1/2 quarts of stock.

A Message from our Provider:

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
