We Love God!

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

Authentic, biblical Christianity has always been an exclusive religion. This became apparent during the Roman Empire. When the Emperor Alexander Severus heard about Christianity, he placed an image of Christ beside the other gods in his private chapel, just to be safe. The Romans were happy to welcome Jesus into their pantheon. What the Romans couldn’t understand was why Christians refused to reciprocate. If the emperor was willing to worship Christ, why weren’t Christians willing to worship the emperor? Yet the early Christians insisted that in order to worship Christ at all, they had to worship Christ alone. They were even willing to stand up for this conviction by playing “Christians and lions” at the Colosseum.
Philip Graham Ryken

We should delight in God’s delight. Mere outward conformity to the law is not what God requires. The person who does what God says with a resentful heart and begrudging obedience does not bear the mark of the true child of light. The heart renewed by the Spirit desires to please God, is anxious to find out what He desires, and is motivated by the sense of bringing God pleasure.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Grains Latimes3 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 c Long-grain white rice
2 c Water
3/4 ts Salt
1/4 c Butter

INSTRUCTIONS

Spread rice in single layer on 17- by 13-inch jelly roll pan and bake at
350 degrees until lightly toasted, 7 to 10 minutes. Bring water to boil in
deep, heavy-bottomed pot and add salt. Add toasted rice slowly so that
water continues to boil. Stir to be sure no rice is sticking to bottom of
pan, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tender, about 15
minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat, tilting
back and forth to keep butter moving as it melts. Watch carefully because
butter will turn light brown in seconds. Remove from heat as soon as it
turns deep tan in color, 2 to 3 minutes. (Do not use saucepan that is black
on the interior because you won't be able to judge butter's color.) Set
aside until rice is cooked. Stir browned butter into cooked rice and serve
hot.
Variation: Add 3 finely chopped green onions, 1 cup finely chopped
watercress leaves, 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley and juice of 1 lemon to
cooked rice and toss to mix well. Taste and add salt if needed. Serve warm.
