We Love God!

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

There can be no doubt whatever that the Spirit calls no person to do what the Word dictated by him, forbids. The Spirit cannot contradict himself. No human being is entitled to advance a specific call of the Spirit for him individually to do or teach something contrary to or beside the Scriptures previously given to the church… Hence, when a woman preacher professes to have felt this call that the Word distinctly precludes from the work…although we may ascribe her mistake to an amiable zeal, yet we absolutely know she is mistaken; she has confounded a human impulse with the Spirit’s calling.

Robert Dabney

People “fall in love” because they want to. When you “fell in love” with your wife, you were not struck with some external force such as Cupid’s arrow. Neither were you dazzled by some external influence such as Love Potion

9. The romantic feelings you enjoyed, which you claim to have now lost, were of your own making. They were created in your own heart. They, like your other feelings, were largely the result of your thoughts and ways. You “fell in love” with your spouse as a result of what you did to, for, and with her and as a result of what you told yourself about her. You created those romantic feelings, and by God’s grace, you can make them come back.

Basic Red-simmered Duck

January 27, 2023

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Meats	Chinese	Poultry	8	Servings

INGREDIENTS

1		Duck, 6 to 7 pounds
		Water to cover
2		Scallions
2		Or
3		Fresh ginger root
6	T	Soy sauce
4	T	Sherry
2	t	Salt
2	t	Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Wipe duck inside and out with a damp cloth. Place breast-side up in a
heavy saucepan, tucking wings under body. Add water to cover and  bring
to a boil. Meanwhile cut scallions in 3-inch sections and slice  ginger
root. Then add both, along with soy sauce, sherry and salt.  Simmer,
covered, 1 hour. Turn bird over. Add sugar and simmer until  done
(about 1 hour more). Cut breast meat against the grain in slices
1/2-inch thick. Arrange on a serving platter, reconstructing the  shape
of the breast. (Or chop duck, bones and all, in 2-inch  sections.)
Serve hot, with or without gravy. The gravy may be  reserved for later
use as a master sauce (see recipe). Or serve cold.  NOTE: The duck is
done when the meat is so tender it nearly falls  from the bones.
VARIATIONS    In step 1, use 1/3 stock, 2/3 water.    In step 2, add 5
dried black mushrooms (soaked) and 1/2 teaspoon  sesame oil.    Use 12
to 15 whole scallions (trim root ends, but keep stalks and  green
leaves intact). Toss scallions in a mixture of 2 tablespoons  soy sauce
and 1/2 teaspoon sugar, then place in duck cavity with the  ginger
root. Bring to a boil as in step 1, then cook with seasonings  as in
steps 2 and 3. Serve bird whole with gravy.    For a smaller duck (3 to
4 pounds) use only 1 cup water, 2  tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon
sherry and 1 teaspoon sugar. Cook  1-1/2 hours, basting and turning for
even coloring.  From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN
