We Love God!

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

But God’s goal is not simply to have us stop looking down on other races. God wants unity, not just a ceasing of hostilities. He wants the very makeup of His church to preach the gospel: that despite our racial variants we are united under one ancestor, Adam; that we had one problem, sin; and that we have one hope, salvation in Christ. He wants us to demonstrate to the world that this unity in Christ is weightier than anything that might divide us. When the Holy Spirit confronted Peter’s racism, he didn’t just command him to quit looking down on other races. He commanded Peter to embrace Cornelius, to go in and eat with him. Peter did not go from “racist” to “non-racist”; he went from “racist” to “gracist.”

J.D. Greear

When the loss of any temporal enjoyment casts us into excessive despondency and dejection it is evident that what we have lost, was the object of our inordinate love. The most innocent attachments cease to be innocent, when they press too strongly upon us! To cleave to any created object, and to look for happiness from it – is to make an idol of it – and set it up in God's place. Should this object be a friend, a brother, a wife, or a child, the idolatry is still odious in the eyes of that God, to whom we owe our chief affection. Our warmest passions, our most fervent love, desires, hopes, and confidences should always have God for their object. It is His desire that our happiness should not center in any of the good things of this life.

INSTRUCTIONS

The prunes and pickled walnuts provide just the sweet and sharp
contrast that complements the flavour of venison so well.  Put the
flour, salt and a good grinding of pepper into a bowl. Toss  the pieces
of venison in the seasoned flour to coat. Heat the oil in  a heavy
flameproof casserole and brown the meat, a few pieces at a  time;
remove the browned meat and keep it warm while you brown the  rest.
When all the meat is browned, add the onions to the casserole  and cook
them until they are soft and translucent, 5-10 minutes. Stir  in the
wine and water, scraping the bits off the bottom of the  casserole with
a wooden spoon. When the liquid is simmering. replace  the browned meat
in the casserole, and stir in the pickled walnuts  and prunes. Cover
the casserole with a lid, and cook in a preheated  moderate oven
(350Ã¸F / 180Ã¸C / gas 4) for an hour. Let the  casserole cool
completely, then store in the refrigerator overnight.  Cook it for a
further hour at the same temperature before serving.  All stews and
casseroles benefit in flavour from reheating. "Lady  MacDonald's
