We Love God!

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

For example, there will be people who will find it easy to identify a weakness or something in which they disagree (doctrine, preference, conviction, philosophy, etc.) and relentlessly harass [their pastors] with books and sermon tapes, website links and personal propaganda (that exceeds the Taliban) in an effort to voice their displeasure and bring them over to their side on the matter. Some will have no comprehension that pastors are only human beings. Their comments will always be critical. Their baggage will be dumped with no desire for personal change. Their comparisons will be made to the top pastors in the world. They will take their pastors for granted. Their perceived role in the church is to be a constant fault-finder. And their expectations will be unreasonable.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss the diced pumpkin in olive oil and
cane syrup. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Place the pumpkin on a
parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender.
Remove from the oven and cool. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add
the onions and saute for 6 to 8 minutes, or until caramelized. Season with
salt and pepper. Add the garlic, bay leaves, and stock. Stir in the
pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and
cook the soup until the pumpkin is very tender, about 25 minutes. With a
hand-held blender, puree the soup until smooth. Slowly whisk in the cream.
Whisk in the peanut butter. Reseason with salt and pepper if necessary.
Simmer the soup, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from the
heat and ladle into shallow bowls. In a small mixing bowl, combine the
chives, Duck Confit and pumpkin seeds. Mix well. Garnish each soup with the
relish. This recipe yields 4 cups of soup.
