We Love God!

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

What a mystery of mercy is this! We have no righteousness of our own. Our best is but as filthy rags. God requires a righteousness, and one that will meet all the demands of His law, and satisfy His impartial justice, in order to our justification. Jesus, therefore, came to do, and to suffer, all that was necessary to make us righteous, divinely righteous. The righteousness of God, or as righteous as He is righteous. The righteous of God in Him. We now, therefore become righteous, perfectly righteous, not by obeying the law, but by faith in Christ, union to Christ, and participation with Christ. Faith brings us to Christ, the Holy Spirit unites us to Christ, and then we participate in all Christ has. His life is our righteousness, His death is our atonement, His intercession is our salvation. He took our place that we might take His. He came to toil for us that we may rest with Him. He sorrowed for us that we may rejoice with Him. He died for us that we may live with Him. Blessed Redeemer, how wondrous your love! How perfect your work!

James Smith

There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride, and yet there is no more vice which is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. Pride is a thing which should be unnatural to us, for we have nothing to be proud of. In almost every other sin, we gather us ashes when the fire is gone. But here, what is left? The covetous man has his shining gold, but what does the proud man have? He has less than he would have had without pride, and is no gainer whatever. Pride wins no crown.

C.H. Spurgeon

'81 1. Carmelize the sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring
frequently. When sugar has melted, add the soy sauce & all the other
ingredients. 2. Bring to a boil, & stir until the sugar has dissolved
completely. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes. 3. Allow this somewhat
thickened syrup to cool, & pour it into one or more bottles. Author
says not to strain the sauce as believes the garlic, anise, salam &
laos continue to provide flavor. Keeps for several months
refrigerated. Makes about 2 3/4 cups. Notes: can often purchase this,
sometimes under "Conimex" label, Ketjap Benteng Manis.  Recipe by: MSN
