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

Though many view giving as merely another obligation, it is in reality a priceless privilege, because it is the pipeline which brings God’s promised blessings to His people…Generous giving to God results in greater giving from God; it is impossible to outgive Him. The promises associated with giving (Lk. 6:38; 2 Cor. 9:6; Ac. 20:35) should stimulate believers to be sacrificially generous givers. Sadly, the powerful lure of the world’s advertising, slick appeals from purportedly Christian ministries, self-indulgence, and lack of faith all hinder believers from experiencing the full blessing of giving.

John MacArthur

The law of God had a definite function in the history of redemption. It still has a function, but it is not the same function as it had in Israel’s experience. The law that worked wrath in Israel’s conscience has been fully silenced and does not work, in any sense, either wrath or blessing in the Christian. The law of God can neither curse nor bless a Christian. It cannot curse a Christian because Christ has endured every curse the law threatened, and it cannot bless a Christian because even with a new heart, the child of God cannot earn the blessing that is the reward for perfect obedience. However, just as Christ endured every curse the law threatened, he also earned every blessing the law promised. If you read the law and feel guilt and despair, you do not understand justification, and if you read the law and feel good about your progress in sanctification, you are a deceived, self-righteous hypocrite.

In a 1 1/2 to 2 quart pan, mix 1/3 cup sugar, yolks, and 3/4 cup

On a lightly floured board, roll each pastry shell into a 8" round;
trim edges to neaten. Set rounds slightly apart on 2 baking sheets,
each 12x15" Bake in a 400'F. oven until golden and crisp, 10-15  minues

racks. If made ahead, store airtight up to 1 day. Halve pineapples
lengthwise; core. Slice crosswise 1/4" thick. Place 1/2 the pineapple
on each baking sheet. Place 1 pan about 3" below broiler. When tinged
brown, about 10 minues, turn pineapple over and sprinkle with 1
tablespoon sugar. Broil until brown, about 6 minutes. Repeat to broil
remaining fruit. If made ahead, let stand up to 2 hours. To present,
put 1/2 or 1 pastry (break large bubbles to flatten) on each dinner
