We Love God!

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

Theologians have an interesting question. Does Scripture teach that man is no longer in the image of God? Or does it suggest that the image remains but has been grossly defaced? In many ways (the latter) is an even more tragic prospect. We might well be justified in thinking that there could be no greater disaster than that the likeness of God should be exterminated. But in fact there is. What if the image of God, in which His greatness and glory are reflected, becomes a distortion of His character? What if, instead of reflecting His glory, man begins to reflect the very antithesis of God? What if God's image becomes an anti-god? This, essentially, is the affront which fallen man is to God. He takes all that God has lavished upon him to enable him to live in free and joyful obedience, and he transforms it into a weapon by which he can oppose His Maker. The very breath, which God gives him thousands of times each day, he abuses by his sin. The magnitude of his sin is also the measure of his need of salvation.

Think about it. If love is the dominant mark of our lives as it should be, what does it say about us if we claim to believe the Gospel, but fail to share it with others? In other words, we acknowledge that in Christ we have abundant life and the fullness of joy (Jn. 10:10). We accept the fact that Jesus said, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me' (Jn. 14:6). And we believe the wages of sin are an eternal death in hell (Rom. 6:23). Once again, what does it say about us if we claim to believe the Gospel, but fail to share it with others whereby they might experience the same blessings?

INSTRUCTIONS

Last weekend, I had to use up some chicken breasts and some assorted
half vegetables. I was really in the mood for General Tso's Chicken,
but my husband didn't want to eat Chinese food. Here's what I came up
with -- it was FABULOUS!  Mix all the marinade ingredients together.
Put the chicken in the  marinade while you dice all those vegetables.
Heat about 1 1/2" oil  to 375F. In small batches, fry the chicken
pieces until they are  medium brown.  Heat a wok over high heat, then
turn it down to medium. Add the  vegetables and the spices. Place the
butter on top of the vegetables.  Stir and fry until juices start to
come out of the zucchini and  everything else is at least partway
cooked. Add the wine and crank  the heat back up. Cook, stirring
constantly, until the liquid makes a  syrup. This takes less than 10
minutes. There should be about 1/2 to  Serve this with some kind of
tiny pasta. I have some I got in the bulk  department that cooks up to
be about the size of uncooked pearl  barley.  Newsgroups:
