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

We are far too easily appeased and far too frequently deceived. As humans, we often pursue our inner desire for happiness in the superficial, sugar-coated sin morsels, temporary trinkets of the world. In this pursuit, we are not satisfied and God is not glorified. This is a radical call for faith. Contrary to the world’s pursuits and our internal cravings, we need to believe that doing it God’s way (according to His words in the Bible) will not only bring Him the greatest glory, but also bring us the greatest joy. We need to believe that our highest joy and God’s greatest glory do not compete, but are rather tethered to each other as one unified pursuit.

The excessive preeminence given to the Holy Spirit in their devotions and their preoccupation with gifts, ecstasies, and “prophecies” has tended to neglect of the Scriptures. Why be tied to a Book out of the past when one can communicate every day with the living God? But this is exactly the danger point. Apart from the constant control of the written revelation, we soon find ourselves engulfed in subjectivity; and the believer, even if he has the best intentions, can sink rapidly into deviations, illuminism or exaltation. Let each remind himself of the prohibition of taking anything away from Scripture or adding anything to it (Deut. 4:2; Rev. 22:18–19). Almost every heresy and sect has originated in a supposed revelation or a new experience on the part of its founder, something outside the strictly biblical framework.

INSTRUCTIONS

Here's a recipe that I made for dinner last night. It comes from last
year's Pillsbury Bake-off cookbook, and was very unusual and very
good. I've left out the brand names.  In a large saucepan combine all
chili ingredients. Cook over  medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes or
until chili is thoroughly  heated and flavors are blended, stirring
occasionally. In a small  bowl, combine banana slices with lemon juice;
toss to coat. Top each  serving of chili with banana slices and
cilantro. 4 (1-1/2 cup)  servings.  Posted to EAT-L Digest  by Cheryl
