We Love God!

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

How willingly then should we part with our sins for Christ, and do our duty to Him! O that we could in our measures part as willingly with our lusts, as He did with His blood! He parted with His blood when He needed not, and shall not we with our sins, when we ought to do so, for our own safety, as well as for His glory. Since Christ came to redeem us from the slavery of the devil, and strike off the chains of captivity, He that will remain in them, when Christ with so much pains and affection hath shed His blood to unloose them, prefers the devil and sin before a Savior.
Stephen Charnock

For every Christian in every culture, repentance is necessary. This doesn’t mean that when people become Christians, they suddenly become perfect and never have any struggles with sin again. But this does mean that when we become followers of Jesus, we make a decided break with an old way of living and take a decisive turn to a new life. We literally die to our sin and to ourselves – our self-centeredness, self-consumption, self-righteousness, self-indulgence, self-effort, and self-exaltation. In the words of Paul, we “have been crucified with Christ and [we] no longer live, but Christ lives in [us].”

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Grains, Eggs Choco5 14 servings

INGREDIENTS

1/2 c Unsalted butter; (1 stick) room
Temperature
3/4 c Smooth peanut butter
1/2 c Granulated sugar
1/2 c Dark-brown sugar; tightly packed
1 lg Egg
1/2 ts Pure vanilla extract
1 c All-purpose flour
3/4 ts Baking soda
6 oz Semisweet chocolate; coarsely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted
with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, peanut butter, and sugars
together until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix on medium
speed until combined. Sift flour and baking soda together, and add to
butter mixture, beating just to combine. Fold in chocolate chunks.
2. Using a 1 1/2-ounce ice cream scoop, form dough, and place on a baking
sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat (Silpat), pressing down slightly to
flatten. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack
to cool. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
..... Notes: Martha updates her oversized peanut-butter cookies by adding
handmade chunks of Valrhona chocolate. For best results, use a creamy
variety of your favorite peanut butter. To form dough Martha uses an
ice-cream scoop to insure that the cookies maintain a uniform size and bake
evenly
