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

The list in Galatians 5 is not a list of unforgivable sins. Instead it is a list of those sins, which when they are practiced, evidence a lack of saving faith. Practicing these sins, however, is not the same thing as committing them. We practice these sins, or any sin, when we give up, when we no longer fight the temptation, when we embrace the sin as good. When, however, we fight, when we repent for falling into these sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins (1 John 1:9).

R.C. Sproul Jr.

Is suicide ever morally permissible? 1. What moral judgment do we make in the case of the soldier who falls on a live grenade to save the life of his friend? 2. What moral judgment do we make in the case of the destitute mother who stops eating what little food remains in order that her child may live? 3. What moral judgment do we make in the case of the POW who swallows a cyanide capsule, knowing that otherwise he will be brainwashed and tortured into divulging crucial information that will be used to the detriment and perhaps death of his countrymen? 4. What moral judgment do we make in the case of the husband with a lengthy terminal illness who takes his own life lest his medical expenses drain the meager financial resources on which his aged wife must depend for her future welfare? 5. What moral judgment do we make…of a soldier trapped in a burning tank from which there is no hope of escape. Is it morally permissible for him to end his life with a gunshot to the head rather than to die in agony in that fiery inferno? 6. What about the Christian in the third century who is given a choice: either deny Jesus or be thrown to the lions? By refusing to deny Jesus, the believer chooses a course of action that she knows will result in her death. 7. What about the Jehovah’s Witness who is accidentally shot by a robber and, because of religious convictions, refuses the blood transfusion necessary to save her life? She dies because of a deliberate choice on her part.

INGREDIENTS

4		Cucumbers
1		Clove of garlic
1	t	Suger
1/4	t	Salt

3/4	c	Real sour cream

INSTRUCTIONS

This cucumber salad is by far one of the most delicious and refreshing
salads you can eat. It has a wonderful cucumber flavor that is
enhanced by the garlic and sour cream. Originally this was a summer
salad to accompany roast meat or chicken dishes. Now that we have
cucumbers available all year round we can enjoy this dish all year.  I
use a slaw slicer to slice the cucumber thinly enough to see  through!
As a child I always enjoyed peeling and then grooving the  cucumbers
with the tines of a fork before my mother would slice them.  I loved
the refreshing cool cucumber spray that would mist my face.  Regards,
June Meyer.  Peel cukes. Drag fork tines down length of peeled
cucumbers to create  long groves that will look very nice when you
slice cucumbers very,  very thin. Put in mixing bowl.  Peel and chop
clove of garlic. Add Salt and suger slices. Mix in sour  cream. Add
vinegar (I like to use "Marukan seasoned gourmet Rice  Vinegar" orange
label) and toss well, I use my hands, till cucumbers  slices and sour
cream are all frothy and foamy.  Place in serving dish and sprinkle a
little paprika on top for  decoration, and serve well chilled.  This
will stay good in refridgerator for a few days. Serves 4. WALT  If you
