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

We often hear the 'Savior' characteristics of God stressed – His love, mercy, goodness and so on – but the matter of His lordship is absent. The distortion is particularly clear in evangelism. In modern practice the call to repentance is usually called an 'invitation,' which one can obviously accept or refuse. It is offered politely. Seldom do we hear presented God's sovereign demand to repent or His demand for total submission to the authority of His appointed king, Christ Jesus.

James Montgomery Boice

Confronting other believers in unrepentant sin is an obligation for all Christians (Mt. 18, Gal. 6, Jas. 5, many Proverbs), but it is not a mechanical obligation that should be approached in an impersonal matter. You are dealing with a living soul. Their heart is being held in your hands. You are a fellow sinner yourself. It’s not about winning a duel. It’s about bringing a person back to fellowship with the Lord, back to a place of safety. Like Paul in 2 Corinthians 7:8, we don’t regret the outcome of repentance and their restoration with the Lord, (that’s our goal!), but we do regret the momentary period of the sorrow we inflicted as we share Scriptures, expose sin and call to repentance. Any parent who has rightly disciplined their own child should know what I am talking about. Even though we know it’s the right thing to do, how often do we agree with the saying, “This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.”

Put the Chinese parsley, mint, green chili, lemon juice and 3 tbsp

with a rubber spatula. Beat the yogurt in a small bowl until it is
creamy. Add the mixture from the blender and fold in. Add 1/4 tsp
salt, mix, and taste. Add more salt if desired. --Jaffrey suggests it
is good with Vegetable Pakoris(batter fried vegetables). If you're
still eating fried foods, I agree.  But other low fat items are
healthier. Try it for a dip with fresh vegetables.  We sometimes stir
a little into our rice. Posted by SassyJo  Recipe By     : World of the
