We Love God!

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

In one sense we must demand the respect of our children as God commands it. But in another sense, we desire that we should earn the respect of our children. How do we do that? We trust them with the appropriate levels of responsibility. We guide, but permit them to make some of their own decisions. We pick them up when they fall. We commit ourselves to their mother. We do what we say. We confess our failures, asking for their forgiveness and admitting we do not have all the answers. We make them a priority with our time. We provide the proper boundaries. We protect them physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. We show that we believe in them and are pleased to have them as our children.

Do you believe? 'I believe,' says one, and he begins to repeat what they call the 'Apostles’ Creed.' Hold your tongue, sir! That matters not; the devil believes that, perhaps more intelligently than you do; he believes and trembles. That kind of believing saves no man. You may believe the most orthodox creed in Christendom, and perish. Do you trust - for that is the cream of the word 'believe' - do you trust in Jesus? Do you lean your whole weight on Him? Have you that faith which the Puritans used to call 'recumbency' or 'leaning'? This is the faith that saves - faith that falls back into the arms of Jesus, a faith that drops from its own hanging-place into those mighty arms.

INSTRUCTIONS

Birria is a typical dish from the Zacatecas area of Mexico, often  made
with lamb.  As always, the chile content can be adjusted upwards!
Remove and discard stems and seeds from chiles.  Put in 1 qt water and
bring to boil. Remove, cover and let stand until softened, about  45-60
min. Puree the chiles with the rest of the seasonings  (everything
except the beef and onions) until smooth.  Place meat in a roasting
pan, top with chile mixture and onions.  Seal pan tightly with aluminum
foil.  Bake, covered, at 350F until  brisket is very tender, about 4
hours.  Shred meat, mix with onion  and juices. Serve with cilantro,
lime and sour cream to add to taste;  or, roll in tortillas for a
birria-burrito!  CHILE-HEADS ARCHIVES  From the Chile-Heads recipe
