We Love God!

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

If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved to be steady… [It] is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point [of attack].
Martin Luther

As we carry out our responsibilities on our jobs, here are some questions we would do well to ask ourselves: 1. Do I regularly thank God for my job – whether it is a president of a Fortune 500 company or a garbage collector? 2. Do I properly respect those at work in authority over me, even those whose religious, political or moral convictions are different from mine? 3. Do I work heartily in whatever vocation I am placed – knowing that my service is to the Lord? 4. Do I work hard even when the boss is not watching? 5. Do I strive to have as good a reputation with my coworkers as I have with my fellow church members? 6. Do I work as efficiently as possible as to make my company profitable? 7. Do I refrain from cutting any moral corners on the job? 8. Do I make suggestions on how to improve job performance and morale? 9. Do I refrain from conversations in which the boss or supervisor is criticized? 10. Do I refrain from taking small items from my employee – paper clips, copy paper, pencils, etc. – even though “everyone else does it?” 11. Do I make personal copies on the company copier? 12. Do I use the company Internet connection for my personal use? 13. Do I fudge on my expense account or time card? 14. Am I the same person on the job as I am when away from the job? 15. Do I encourage employer respect, rather than helping create employee dissatisfaction? 16. Are my work habits sloppy, or do I attempt to always produce work of excellence? 17. Am I on time, or am I often tardy at work? 17. Do I misuse sick leave or personal leave days? 19. Do I abuse workers’ compensation benefits? Do I remind myself regularly that my job performance and general attitude can bring either glory, or dishonor, to my Lord? 20. Do I use company time to witness to my lost co-workers, or do I wait until break time or lunch time? 21. Do I remind myself regularly that my job performance and general attitude can bring either glory, or dishonor, to my Lord?

DIPPING SAUCE
MAKES 32 DAIRY-FREE
These refreshing dumplings sport a vegetable filling flavored with lime
juice and fresh ginger. Serve with the tangy dipping sauce and a tossed
salad for a light meal.
In large skillet, heat oil over high heat. Add garlic, ginger and chili
paste. Stir-fry 1 minute. Add green onions and cook 1 minute. Add zucchini
and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are just tender,
3 to 4 minutes. Add lime juice and cilantro. Remove from heat and allow the
mixture to cool. Transfer mixture to food processor and coarsely chop.
Dipping sauce: In small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients and set aside.
Line baking sheet with plastic wrap. Working on a clean, flat surface,
place 1 tablespoon of filling in center of won ton wrapper. Brush corners
with a little water, then gather sides of wrapper and pinch tops to
resemble a pouch. Set dumpling on baking sheet. Repeat until filling is
used up.
Fill wok or base of tiered bamboo steamer about 1/3 full of water. Cover
and bring to a boil over high heat. Lightly oil steamer and place dumplings
inside so edges are not touching. Set steamer over boiling water, cover and
cook dumplings until tender, 15 minutes. Transfer dumplings to a platter
and serve right away with dipping sauce.
