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

[T]here is nothing in us or done by us at any stage of our earthly development because of which we are acceptable to God. We must always be accepted for Christ’s sake or we cannot ever be accepted at all. This is not true of us only “when we believe,” it is just as true after we have believed. It will continue to be true as long as we live… It is always, on His “blood and righteousness” alone that we can rest. There is never anything that we are or have or do that can take His place or that take a place along with Him. We are always unworthy, and all that we have or do of good is always of pure grace.

2 Peter 1:21 says, “Men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The Greek word for “moved” is “phero.” It’s a verb that is translated “bring, carry or bear.” It’s the same word that used twice in Acts 27 –Paul’s famous voyage to Rome – of the ship that was at the mercy of the breeze being caried by the wind. It’s origin of the English name, “Christopher.” Christos (Christ) – Phero (Bearing) – Bearing Christ. So, this tells us that the men who wrote Scripture did not have heightened powers or mystical visions or even an ear for God to dictate His word. Rather, they wrote what they knew to be true using their own words, style, experiences and personalities, but as they wrote, the Holy Spirit (pheuma-the same Greek word used in the Bible for wind) was bearing them along. Therefore, when they wrote they wrote the very Word of God.

INSTRUCTIONS

(by Roxana & Farzin Mokhtarian)  Ice-in-Heaven is a delicious dessert
that is easy to make. Dissolve  starch well in cold water and dissolve
rice-flour well in cold milk.  Mix the two solutions and bring to slow
boil over low heat. Regularly  stir the mix until it thickens. Now add
sugar and rosewater. Continue  stirring the mix while it boils very
slowly so that it does not  settle.  When the mix becomes very thick,
it is ready. Pour it into a deep  rectangular dish and shake so that
the surface is level. Let it cool  down completely, then cut a grid
into it the lines of which are  parallel to the diagonals of the dish.
Sprinkle the pistachios on  top. Ice-in-Heaven is now ready to serve.
