We Love God!

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

If the inevitable processes of natural selection continue to bring about improvement in life forms on earth through survival of the fittest, then why should we hinder this process by caring for those who are weak or less able to defend themselves? Should we not rather allow them to die without reproducing so that we might move toward a new, higher form of humanity, even a “master race?” In fact, Marx, Nietzsche, and Hitler all justified war on these grounds (Wayne Grudem and Jeff Purswell).

The great hymns of the church are on the way out. They are not gone entirely, but they are going and in their place have come trite jingles that have more in common with contemporary advertising ditties than the psalms. The problem here is not so much the style of the music, though trite words fit best with trite tunes and harmonies. Rather it is with the content of the songs. The old hymns expressed the theology of the Bible in profound and perceptive ways and with winsome memorable language. Today’s songs are focused on ourselves. They reflect our shallow or nonexistent theology and do almost nothing to elevate our thoughts about God. Worst of all are songs that merely repeat a trite idea, word, or phrase over and over again. Songs like this are not worship, though they may give the church-goer a religious feeling. They are mantras, which belong more in a gathering of New Agers than among the worshiping people of God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Raisin Puree is the basis for the dough of this rich-tasting, chewy
bar. The combination of orange and chocolate is a classic favorite. We
considered cutting the amount of chocolate in the recipe, thereby
cutting the fat, but in the end we agreed that the extra richness is
worth the extra grams of fat. (By Times Food Stylists) Sift together
flour, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Stir in oats and brown
sugar. Beat egg whites lightly in another bowl. Stir in Raisin Puree.
Stir into flour mixture along with chocolate, walnuts, and orange  zest
just until blended. Spoon in 9-inch-square baking pan sprayed  with
non-stick vegetable spray. Bake at 350 degrees F. 25 to 30  minutes.
Cool. Cut into 24 bars. 213 calories; 95 mg sodium; 0  cholesterol; 3
