We Love God!

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

It is natural...for us to trust in ourselves. It is so natural, and so confirmed by the habits of a lifetime, that no ordinary difficulties or perplexities avail to break us of it. It takes all God can do to root up our self-confidence. He must reduce us to despair; He must bring us to such an extremity that the one voice we have in our hearts, the one voice that cries to us wherever we look round for help, is death, death, death. It is out of this despair that the superhuman hope is born. It is out of this abject helplessness that the soul learns to look up with new trust to God… How do most of us attain to any faith in Providence? Is it not by proving, through numberless experiments, that it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps? Is it not by coming, again and again, to the limit of our resources, and being compelled to feel that unless there is a wisdom and a love at work on our behalf, immeasurably wiser and more benign than our own, life is a moral chaos?... Only desperation opens our eyes to God’s love.
James Denney

We know our sin brings personal consequences, but let’s remember it also affects others. You are part of a body. You sin, others in the church are hurt. Yet most of all, it affects how other people think about Christ. The stakes cannot be higher regarding the need for your personal moral integrity. Our entire life must be seen in the light of the Gospel’s proclamation through Christlike personal transformation.

INGREDIENTS

3 lb Onions
1/2 c Butter or margarine
1/2 c Celery; chopped with leaves
6 c Soft Bread Crumbs
1 tb Salt
1/2 tb Ground Black Pepper
1 tb Dried Sage
1 ts Dried Savory

1/4 ts Ground Nutmeg
1 Goose; (10 to 12-lb.)
1 tb Fresh Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper
2 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
Boiling Water

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel and cut the onions into quarters. Place them in a large saucepan, add
just enough boiling water to cover, and simmer, covered, for about 15
minutes or until just tender. Drain, cool, and coarsely chop the onions.
Warm the butter or margarine in a large heavy skillet. Add the chopped
celery and gently sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add half
the bread crumbs and cook gently until lightly browned, stirring frequently
to combine.
Place the remaining bread crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt,
pepper, sage, savory, marjoram, and nutmeg. Toss to combine the
ingredients. Add the prepared onions and the sautéed celery and bread crumb
mixture to the bowl and toss again to combine. Let cool before stuffing the
goose.
Pre-heat the oven to 400-F degrees. rub the goose inside and out with lemon
juice. Generously sprinkle the inside of the goose with salt and pepper.
Stuff the neck cavity with some of the prepared stuffing and fasten the
neck skin to the body of the goose with a skewer.
Stuff the body of the goose with the remaining stuffing, skewering and
lacing the end closed. Tie the legs and the wings to the body with
butcher's twine. Prick the skin of the goose all over, to let the fat
escape while roasting.
Place the bird, breast side, down on the rack of a large roasting pan. Add
the bouillon cubes to the two cups boiling water and stir until dissolved,
pour the mixture over the goose.
Roast for one hour, uncovered. Pour off half the drippings and discard.
Turn the goose over and pour two cups of boiling water over the bird.
Continue roasting for another hour.
Pour off the drippings from the pan, again. Prick the skin of the goose all
over and continue roasting for about 90 minutes more, or until tender.
To serve, place the goose on a large platter; remove the twine and skewers
to carve.

A Message from our Provider:

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
