We Love God!

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

Sanctification is a gift just as justification is (a double grace, or duplex gratia, as Calvin called it). Both are the gift of God, ours by virtue of union with Christ. Both are found in Christ alone. Both are necessary for salvation – justification being the root and sanctification being the fruit. As is often said: faith alone justifies, but the faith that justifies is never alone. So we must never separate justification and sanctification. The former can’t help but produce the latter, and the latter must flow from the former. And yet we should not be afraid to talk about justification in a different way than we talk about sanctification. One calls us to rest; the other to fight. One reckons us righteous; the other makes us righteous. One allows for no increase or degrees; the other expects progress and growth. One is a declaration of God about us, the other a work of God in us.

Some Christians [consider administration]…a secondary gift, appearing less important than other functions of service. Frequently one hears pastors consider (administration being) nonessential, uninteresting, and less spiritual than, say, preaching, teaching, or counseling… People who reason this way misunderstand a significant biblical concept that sets forth the function of administration as a cherished spiritual gift.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Dairy Mike04 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 c Whole milk
1 c Cold water
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Cornmeal
4 tb Unsalted butter -; (1/2 stick)
3 tb Freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
3 tb Chopped fresh herbs
(such as thyme; parsley and chives)

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the milk, water, salt, and cornmeal in a 2- or 3-quart
heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir with a whisk to eliminate any lumps. Heat
just to a boil (but without scorching). Reduce the heat to very low and
simmer the polenta for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden
spoon. If, near the end of the cooking, the polenta is becoming too thick
and heavy to stir, add one or more tablespoons of cold water to loosen the
mixture enough to be able to stir it, and to maintain a creamy consistency.
Remove from the heat. Immediately add the butter, the Parmesan cheese, the
herbs and stir quickly to incorporate. The polenta can now be served soft,
similar to a porridge, to accompany meat or game. This recipe yields 4
servings.
