We Love God!

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

A man preacheth that sermon only well unto others which preacheth itself in his own soul… If the word do not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.
John Owen

If you want to raise a Pharisee, just follow these simple steps (sarcasm!). 1. Make the Christian home all about rule-keeping (do’s and don’t’s), but never explain to them why we should follow God’s Word. 2. Add your own rules to God’s Word and make them more important than God’s Word. 3. Strictly enforce the rules on your children, but give yourself a pass. 4. Show your children nothing about grace, forgiveness, mercy and love. 5. Preach at them until they are blue in the face (bore them with the Bible) and never listen to what they have to say about God’s Word. 6. Make Jesus a burden rather than a blessing – make God’s Word a bondage rather than a liberation. 7. Give them no opportunity to think spiritually for themselves. 8. Fail to guide them in a spiritual worldview – teaching them how to process life with the Bible. 9. Praise their externals regardless of their motives. 10. Teach them to obey only because they have to and not because they should also want to as God’s commands come from a loving and trustworthy Father. 11. Make your disciple punishment rather than correction. 12. Demand self-reformation, rather than pointing them to Christ-transformation by grace. 13. Teach them to obey you as God rather than to obey God by obeying you. 14. Use Scripture and church as punishment. 15. Never pray for them. 16. Correct them more than you encourage them. 17. Beat your kids into external conformity, often to simply make yourself look good and do nothing to shepherd their hearts.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Dairy Mike04 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

3 lb Seaweed
2 Dozen Little neck clams
3 lb New potatoes
8 Corn ears
2 lb Small white onions
2 lb Chorizo sausage
3 lb Mussels
6 Lobsters -; (abt 1 lb ea)
Cheesecloth
1 lg Enamel lobster pot preferably 24-quart
=== CONDIMENTS ===
Drawn butter
Cayenne pepper
Coarse salt
Lemons
Hot sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash the shellfish in fresh water. Wash the potatoes, peel (but leave
whole) the onions, pull back the husk from the corn, remove the silk and
wrap the corn again in husks. Wrap each food item separately into a small
bundle of cheesecloth so that it can more easily be retrieved from the hot
and steamy pot. Put the lobster pot on the stove, line the bottom with a
layer of seaweed and pour in 2 cups water. Place the bundle of clams and
potatoes on this first layer of seaweed. Place a layer of seaweed over the
first 2 cheesecloth bundles. Lay the bundles of corn and clams on the
seaweed layer and top them with yet another seaweed layer. Put the sausage
and mussel packages into the pot and layer some seaweed over them. End with
a layer of lobster, neatly tucked into the pot and covered with seaweed. If
the lobsters rise above the top edge of the pot, cover them with a towel,
tucking the edges into the rim of the pot. Set the heat on medium and begin
cooking the lobster bake. When the lobsters have cooked completely, about
45 to 60 minutes, the other ingredients of the bake should be cooked as
well. Serve the bake with all the condiments on the side along with hot
cornbread. This recipe yields 6 to 8 portions.
