We Love God!

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

Headship is not a right to control or to abuse or to neglect. (Christ’s sacrifice is the pattern.) Rather, it’s the responsibility to love like Christ in leading and protecting and providing for our wives and families. Submission is not slavish or coerced or cowering. That’s not the way Christ wants the church to respond to His leadership and protection and provision. He wants the submission of the church to be free and willing and glad and refining and strengthening.
John Piper

The Bible never discusses this psychological fact of human unhappiness in marriage when it discusses the inviolability of marriage and when it forbids divorce. Christians in our day need to face this fact, for fact it is. To put it as bluntly as the Bible does, the Lord is as much as saying, I know you are unhappy but your unhappiness does not change your obligation to your marriage. I know you think your life would be much better if you were out of this marriage or could have another woman for your wife, but that does not in any way diminish your obligation to remain faithful to your wife... Listen, "The Lord knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust." He is full of a perfect sympathy for the trials and tribulations of human life. There can be no thought of His not caring for the pain caused to his children who find themselves in a loveless marriage. He wants us to be happy. But, he wants us to be holy even more! And, the fact is, there are a great many things that are very hard to do in the Christian life but which Christians must do, come wind, come weather. No one can read the Bible and conclude that the Lord would never ask his children to suffer for his sake, to make sacrifices for His sake, even punishingly difficult sacrifices.

12 oz Tomato paste
24 Water
2 T Oregano, fresh chopped
1 Bay leaf
1 t Salt
1/2 t Pepper, black

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 F.  To make the sauce, gently saute the onion
and garlic in the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until the
onion is translucent, about five minutes.  Add the tomato paste and
stir. Slowly add the water and stir.  Add the seasonings and allow  the
sauce to simmer while preparing the manicotti and filling.  Manicotti:
Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add the olive  oil, and drop in
the manicotti.  Cook al dente, about 12 minutes.  Drain and refresh
under cold running water.  Set aside.  Filling:  beat the ricotta with
the eggs until combined in the large  bowl of an electric mixer.  Add
the grated cheeses and softened  butter, beat until combined.  Add the
salt, pepper and basil.  Beat  on low just until everything is
combined.  Gently fill the cooked  manicotti with the cheese mixture
and arrange in two greased 9"x13"  pans.  Cover the pasta in each pan
with half the sauce; sprinkle on  additional parmesan.  Bake for about
20 minutes, until the cheese is  thoroughly melted and the sauce is
bubbling.  ~--The Cereal Murders Diane Mott Davidson  File
