We Love God!

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

When Christians suffer, they, like Paul, can consequently take courage from the fact that their lives will mediate to others the power of the Resurrection, either through God's act of deliverance or, even more profoundly, through the testimony of their endurance. In either case we are summoned to trust God in the midst of our afflictions in the confidence that God will ultimately deliver us. By so doing, God's power will be manifest in our weakness.

Men may be seeking religion, a way to sooth a guilty conscience, or some way to resolve their problems and to feel good about themselves, but men do not seek God on their own. When the church's regular worship services are redesigned as seeker services to emphasize evangelism, (contrary to God's pattern found in Ephesians 4), the result is that the saints are hearing the gospel fifty two Sundays a year, and are not being built up in the faith. Redesigning the main church service in order to appeal to the lost is a departure from God's plan. It may be appealing to men, it may add to the "numbers," but is it not a better idea to design the church and worship services after the pattern set by the One truly responsible for the increase (I Cor.3:6)?... The Biblical pattern is that the regular meetings of the church were primarily for the believers, not for the lost. When the gathering of the saints was over, THEN evangelism was to begin in earnest!

MARINADE
To calculate the cooking time for the lamb, add 450g (1lb) to the pack
weight. Allow 25 minutes per 450g for well done, 20 for medium and 15 for
rare.
Slash the lamb skin and place in a large non-metallic dish.
Blend the marinade ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped.
Pour over the lamb, working well into the cuts.
Cover and marinate for several hours.
Reserve the marinade. Roast the joint in the centre of a preheated oven at
190ºC, 375ºF, gas mark 5, until there is 1 hour of the cooking time left.
Add the vegetables. Season well, brush with marinade and drizzle with a
little olive oil.
Cook for the remaining hour turning the vegetables occasionally.
Remove the lamb and vegetables from the roasting tin.
To make the gravy, stir the flour into the remaining marinade and make up
to 425ml ( 3/4 pint) with water. Skim the fat from the cooking juices and
add the marinade. Cook until the gravy thickens. Season and serve with the
lamb and vegetables.

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
