We Love God!

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

Some would suggest that Jesus was “seeker sensitive” in that He worked His miracles in order to attract large crowds to which He could share the gospel. But in several passages it is plain this is not His motive: Mark 5:43; 7:36; 8:26, 30; and Luke 4:9-12 (and these are by no means exhaustive). Clearly, Christ did not intend these miraculous works for public exploitation. There is little to indicate Christ worked miracles in order to draw a crowd. He was opposed to selling the gospel by appealing to their love for the sensational. (See Jn. 2:23-25)… He sharply rebuked the five thousand for seeking Him for merely physical satisfaction. Jesus did not teach us to draw people to Him by appealing to their senses. Instead He claimed full responsibility for drawing all to Himself by way of the cross (Jn. 12:32); therefore, exalting Christ, "and Him crucified," is to be the primary object in worship, as well as evangelism. (See Rev. 5:8.)

My dear children, never did I pass a more truly solemn or interesting moment than that in which my firstborn child was put into my arms and when I felt that I was a father. A new comfort was then produced in my heart which every succeeding day has tended to confirm and strengthen. I looked up to heaven and breathed over my baby the petition of Abraham for his son. “O that Ishmael might live before You.” Recognizing in the little helpless being which had been so lately introduced into our world, there was a creature born for eternity and who when the sun shall be extinguished would be still soaring in heaven or sinking in hell. I returned to my closet for private devotion and solemnly dedicated the child to the God who had given me the precious life. And I earnestly prayed that whatever might be his lot in this world, he might be a partaker of true holiness and numbered with the saints in everlasting glory.

INSTRUCTIONS

CRUST
FILLING
LEMON CURD
To prepare the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the flour,
sugar, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor
running, add the butter through the feeder tube and process until a smooth
dough forms. Press the dough into a 10-inch springform pan and bake for 10
minutes, or until the dough is set. Remove from the oven and set aside to
cool.
To prepare the filling, put the cream cheese, sugar, and eggs into the bowl
of the food processor and process until smooth. Add the vanilla and process
just to mix. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, stir in the berries, and
pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Bake in the oven until the
cheesecake is set, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside
to cool, at least 30 minutes.
To prepare the lemon curd, put the juice, zest, sugar, and eggs in a metal
bowl, and mix well. Add the butter and place the bowl over a pan of gently
simmering water. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture is very thick and
coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 8 minutes. Set the bowl aside to cool. Pour
the curd over the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Whip the cream to soft peaks. Slice the cheesecake and serve with blueberry
sauce and a dollop of the whipped cream.
