We Love God!

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

There were earnest longings that all God’s people might be clothed with humility and meekness, like the Lamb of God, and feel nothing in their hearts but love and compassion to all mankind; and great grief when anything to the contrary appeared in any of the children of God, as bitterness, fierceness of zeal, censoriousness, or reflecting uncharitably on others, or disputing with any appearance of heat of spirit.
Jonathan Edwards

Temptation arises and the conscience warns of impending danger – Rationalization: “Because I already hate sin as a general rule, I can be near temptation without desiring it or becoming vulnerable” Temptation intensifies – Rationalization: “I’ve been doing well spiritually, what possible damage could result from merely ‘noticing’ trouble?” Sinful desires begin to consume the thought life – Rationalization: “My life is very difficult, so how am I supposed to be strong all the time? Can I be expected to hold off every powerful enticement when I’m under such pressure?” The conscience screams reminders about truth, family, friends, and consequences – Rationalization: “Since I’m alone, none of those I love will be affected; and besides, this is a small sin compared to what I’ve seen others do.” Sin prevails with the attendant guilt – Rationalization: “I’m not as bad as others; I know God will forgive me; I’ll just leave this between me and Him; I don’t need anyone’s help because they’ll just be judgmental.” Sin continues as a pattern, truth becomes dull, and sensations of guilt fade – Rationalization: “People can be so legalistic; they think they’re the only ones that do anything right; God is much more loving and He wants me to be happy.”

INSTRUCTIONS

Serves Many  The Cook and Kitchen Staff are proud to offer you our
final sampling  of recipes from the Young Family Reunion Recipe
Collection, as  unofficially published in a small cookbook entitled
"Forever Young."  By now, you're probably wondering about the Young
Family's origin  just a bit. The Cook and Kitchen Staff have offered
you an English  Toast with a Polish recipe and Irish methods of
preparation while  sampling various casseroles and a variety of
desserts.  If you haven't guessed, we're fifth-generation American,
with European  origins prior to the passage. We're a hodge-podge
mixture of Dutch,  Irish, Scottish, and English, with marriages
contributing French,  German, Polish, and bits of Bohemian. We're a
combination of  nationalities and religions, and we gather together to
celebrate the  belief that blood is thicker than water, as it is the
stuff that  binds us together in one ever- expanding extended family,
probably  pretty much like yours!  Place all ingredients as prepared in
a Dutch Oven or covered roasting  pan. Bake in a 250-F degree oven for
5 hours. Don't peek! If you do,  you'll lose essential moisture from
your stew and you'll end up with  something along the lines of
dried-out non-tasty stuff! After 5  hours, remove from the oven, and
stir before serving individual  portions with buttered bread.  Posted
