We Love God!

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

Wives are not the only ones instructed to respect their husbands. Children are told to honor their fathers (Ephesians 6:2-3). If you are disrespectful to your husband, your children will likely acquire the same attitude. It will be much more difficult for them to honor their father if you are belittling him and speaking to him in a harsh, sarcastic tone of voice.
Martha Peace

Our local deity is not Jesus. He goes by the name Jesus. But in reality, our local deity is Jesus Jr. Our little Jesus is popular because he is useful. He makes us feel better while conveniently fitting into the margins of our busy lives. But he is not terrifying or compelling or thrilling. When we hear the gospel of Jesus Jr., our casual response is “Yeah, that’s what I believe.” Jesus Jr. does not confront us, surprise us, stun us. He looks down on us with a benign, all-approving grin. He tells us how wonderful we really are, how entitled we really are, how wounded we really are, and it feels good. Jesus Jr. appeals to the flesh. He does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him. He is not able to understand them, much less impart them, because Jesus Jr. is the magnification of Self, the idealization of Self, the absolutization of Self turning around and validating Self, flattering Self, reinforcing Self. Jesus Jr. does not change us, because he is a projection of us.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Grains Ckright3 1 servings

INGREDIENTS

3 lb Young green beans; to 4 pounds
4 Long; thin Red chiles (fresh or dried)
4 lg Garlic cloves
1 tb Peppercorns
(white; black, green or a mixture)
1/4 c Loosely-packed fresh dill sprigs
(or 4 tablespoons dried dill weed)
2 1/2 c Water
2 1/2 c White wine vinegar
1/4 c Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Trim and remove string from the beans. Rinse well and set aside. Sterilize
jars and lids in boiling water. When jars are cool enough to handle, fill
each upright with beans until they are snug. Insert chiles and garlic
cloves preferably around outside so they can be seen (both for decorative
reasons and also to alert that they are spicy). Divide peppercorns and dill
among jars. Separately bring the water, vinegar and salt to a boil in a
non-reactive sauce pan. Ladle the hot brine over the beans leaving about
1/2-inch head space. Wipe jar edge clean and screw on sterilized lid and
band according to manufacturers instructions. Process in a boiling water
bath for 12 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely at room
temperature away from drafts. Check lids to make sure proper seal has been
attained. Store for at least one month before using to allow flavors to
develop. This recipe yields 4 pints.
