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

The second coming of Christ will also involve the reversal of the curse that was placed on creation at the time of the fall. The creation will no longer groan under the weight of the curse. It will be set free from its bondage to decay (Rom. 8:18–25). All things will be made new. There will be no more tears, no more death, no more mourning, no more pain, for all of these things will have passed away (Rev. 21:1–8). The enemy Satan will be defeated and judged, no more to accuse and attack the people of God (Rev. 20:7–10). All men will stand before the judgment throne of Christ. Those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will inherit the kingdom. Those whose names are not found will be cast into outer darkness (20:11–15).

It should come as no huge surprise that the secular world is confused and off-base about the identity and calling of women. But what I find distressing is the extent to which (this) has taken hold even within the evangelical world. We see the fruit of that revolution as prominent Christian speakers, authors, and leaders promote an agenda, whether subtly or overtly, that encourages women to define and discover their worth in the workplace, in society, or at church, while minimizing (or even at the expense of) their distinctive roles in the home as daughters, sisters, wives, and mothers – as bearers and nurturers of life, caregivers, as those privileged and responsible to shape the heart and character of the next generation. The feminist revolution was supposed to bring women greater fulfillment and freedom. It was supposed to make us feel better about ourselves; after all, “You’ve come a long way, baby!” But we see the poisoned fruit of the revolution in the eyes and pitiable cries of women who are drowning in the quagmire of serial divorce and remarriage and wayward children; women who are utterly exhausted from the demands of trying to juggle one or more jobs, function as single parents and be active in church; women who are disoriented and confused, who lack sense of mission, vision, and purpose for their lives and who are perpetually, pathetically shrouded in woundedness, self-doubt, resentment, and guilt.

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

brown. Remove buns from oven and slide off pan on to wire rack over
sheet of waxed paper.  GLAZE: Whisk lemon juice and icing sugar
together to form a runny bu  slightly thickened mixture, rather like
skim milk in color and  translucence (glaze should not be so thick that
it makes a white  coating, hiding the cross). Brush glaze over buns
while they're still  hot (some icing will drip on to the waxed paper).
If desired, wait 5  minutes, then brush on a second coat of glaze.
SPICE BLENDS: Just mix ingredients together and use as per recipe.
FROZEN DOUGH METHOD: With rolling pin, press dough into a large
rectangle. Sprinkle with raisins. Starting at long side, roll dough
tightly into a log shape. Slice log into 9 sections. Form each  section
into a ball and place in square pan coated with non stick  spray. Cover
with sprayed plastic wrap and allow to double in size.  Remove plastic
wrap and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until golden  brown. Remove
immediately to cooling rack.  TO MAKE ICING: Mix all icing ingredients
together and place in a  squeeze bottle, icing bag or gun. When buns
are cool, use icing bag  or snipped milk bag to squirt icing in a cross
design on top.  FROM The Gazette, March 26, 1997  Posted to MM-Recipes
