We Love God!

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

Jesus did not die just to give us peace and a purpose in life; He died to save us from the wrath of God. He died to reconcile us to a holy God who was alienated from us because of our sin. He died to ransom us from the penalty of sin – the punishment of everlasting destruction, shut out from the presence of the Lord. He died that we, the just objects of God’s wrath, should become, by His grace, heirs of God and co-heirs with Him.
Jerry Bridges

The love of God can be a profound answer to just about any human struggle, but sometimes we can use it in such a way that it becomes a watered down version of profoundly rich truth. For example, sometimes, because of shortcomings in us rather than Scripture, this answer misses the call to “consider others better than yourselves” (Phil. 2:3), or it ignores personal repentance. Sometimes it still allows us and our needs to be at the center of the world, and God becomes our psychic errand boy given the task of inflating our self-esteem.

INGREDIENTS

3 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts Baking soda
3/4 ts Salt
1 tb Ground ginger
2 ts Cinnamon
1 1/2 Sticks unsalted butter; softened (3/4 cup)
3/4 c Firmly pack dark brown sugar
3 lg Eggs
1 c Sour cream
3/4 c Dark molasses
2 c Raisins

INSTRUCTIONS

Into a bowl sift together the flour, the baking soda, the salt, the ginger,
and the cinnamon. In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter
with the brown sugar and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time. In a small bowl
whisk together the sour cream and the molasses. Add the flour mixture to
the butter mixture alternately with the molasses mixture, beginning and
ending with the flour mixture and beating the batter after each addition
until it is just combined, and stir in the raisins. Divide the batter among
5 buttered and floured loaf pans, each 5 3/4 by 3 1/4 by 2 inches, and bake
the breads in the middle of a preheated 350F. oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or
until a tester comes out clean. Remove the breads from the pans and let
them cool, right sides up, on a rack. The breads keep, wrapped well in
plastic wrap and foil, chilled for 1 week or frozen for 1 month.
Makes 5 small loaves.
