We Love God!

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

Things that draw people to embrace legalism. 1. Legalism provides us with a sense of security in that it enables us always to know precisely what to do in every conceivable moral dilemma. There is a certain sort of psychological safety in being stiff morally. 2. Legalism nurtures pride. “Look at what I’m willing to forego that others embrace! Others may indulge themselves but I have a discipline and a moral standard they lack. I possess a will-power that really loves God. Therefore, God really loves me” (with the implication that God doesn’t really love those who choose another path, or at least doesn’t love them as much as He loves me!). 3. It provides an excuse to maintain control. One need never fear the unknown because there is always a rule or law (of my own making, of course) to govern every situation. After all, without rules things will get out control (or so legalists think). 4. There is comfort in conformity. It is always reassuring when other people live like we do, even if there is no explicit biblical warrant for it. 5. Some embrace legalism out of a genuine, heart-felt concern for other believers. They are actually motivated by love and compassion, worried that the spiritual welfare of others is at risk. They fear that others will assuredly “fall” if they walk down a certain path, even though that path is nowhere prescribed in Scripture (see especially Romans 14:4).
Sam Storms

Men that have their spirits heated and enraged and rising in bitter resentment when they are injured act as if they thought some strange thing had happened to them. Whereas they are very foolish in so thinking for it is no strange thing at all but only what was to be expected in a world like this. They therefore do not act wisely that allow their spirits to be ruffled by the injuries they suffer.

INGREDIENTS

1 Red bell pepper
4 oz Red wine vinegar
3/4 c Extra virgin olive oil
3/4 c Corn oil
1 Shallot, peeled
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts White pepper
1 Zucchini, cut in 1/4" slices
1 Yellow squash (1/4" slices)
1 Avocado (1/4" slices)
1 Red pepper
1 Yellow pepper
1 Green pepper
4 Scallions
1 Tomato (1/4" slices)
2 Ears corn, grilled
1/4 c Corn oil

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the Vinaigrette, Roast, peel and seed one red bell pepper. Place
bell pepper, vinegar, shallot, salt & white pepper in a blender and puree
until smooth. Slowly blend in the two oils. Refrigerate. Extra vinaigrette
may be saved up to one week.
To make the grilled vegetables, light charcoal fire and lightly salt and
oil vegetables. When coals are white hot, lay vegetables (all except
tomatoes) on grill and cool for two minutes per side. The corn will take
longer.  Then cook tomatoes for 30 seconds on each side. Cut corn into
niblets. Spoon three ounces of vinaigrette onto each plate and arrange
vegetables on top of vinaigrette. Sprinkle with 1 tsp. queso fresco and
serve with salsa and flour tortillas.
