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

Repentance is a theme that belongs in the gospel presentation to the degree that we could say one has not preached the biblical gospel if one has not preached repentance. In Acts 17 verse 30 the Bible says, 'God commands all men everywhere to repent.' God commands all men everywhere to repent. If we are faithful preachers of the message of God, then we must in God's name command all men everywhere to repent. Matthew 9:13 says that Jesus Christ came to call sinners to repentance. Second Peter 3:9, 'God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.' Luke 15:7 and 10 indicates that there is joy in heaven over one sinner brought to repentance. And in Luke 24:47, the Great Commission Jesus gave is that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in His name to all people.Our message is repentance. It is a hard message. It is a harsh message. It confronts sin. It unmasks hypocrisy. It denies superficiality. You cannot preach the true gospel apart from repentance. John came preaching repentance, the Bible says. Jesus came preaching repentance. The apostles preached repentance. Christ commands repentance. He does it at least three times in just Revelation 2 and 3. God saves through repentance. In fact, in Acts 11:18 it calls repentance, 'Repentance unto life.' There is no spiritual life; there is no eternal life without repentance. In Acts 5:31 it is said Christ is exalted as a Savior to give repentance and the forgiveness of sins.
John MacArthur

[Paul’s] thrice-repeated prayer for the removal of the ailment was answered, not by his deliverance from it, but by his receiving the necessary grace to bear it – not simply to live with it but to be thankful for it. If his ministry was so effective despite this physical weakness, then the transcendent power was manifestly God’s, not his own. Infirmities like this were welcomed, together with the other hardships…if they were the condition on which the power of the risen Christ operated through him. They constantly reminded him not so much of his own inadequacy as of the total adequacy of Christ, in whom, when he was personally most weak, he knew himself to be most strong.

Source: TVFN: Cooking Live #CL8793  Preheat oven to 450?F. and oil 2
large shallow baking pans.  In a large bowl toss squash with oil until
coated well and spread in  one layer in pans. Roast squash in oven 10
minutes and season with  salt. Stir squash and roast 10 to 15 minutes
more, or until tender  and beginning to turn golden.  While squash is
roasting, in a saucepan bring milk to a simmer with  rosemary. Heat
milk mixture over low heat 10 minutes and pour through  a sieve into a
large pitcher or measuring cup.  In a large heavy saucepan cook garlic
in butter over moderately low  heat, stirring until softened. Stir in
flour and cook roux, stirring,  3 minutes. Remove pan from heat and
whisk in milk mixture in a stream  until smooth. Return pan to heat and
simmer sauce, whisking  occasionally, about 10 minutes, or until thick.
Stir in squash and  salt and pepper to taste. Sauce may be made 3 days
ahead and chilled,  its surface covered with plastic wrap.  Reduce
temperature to 375 degrees F. and butter a baking dish, 13 x 9  x 2
inches.  Pour 1 cup sauce into baking dish (sauce will not cover bottom
completely) and cover with 3 lasagne sheets, making sure they do not
touch each other. Spread half of remaining sauce over pasta and
sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmesan. Make one more layer in same manner,
beginning and ending with pasta.  In a bowl with an electric mixer beat
cream with salt until it holds  soft peaks and spread evenly over top
pasta layer, making sure pasta  is completely covered. Sprinkle
remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan over  cream. Cover dish tightly with foil,
tenting slightly to prevent foil  from touching top layer, and bake in
middle of oven 30 minutes.  Remove foil and bake lasagne 10 minutes
more, or until top is  bubbling and golden. Let lasagne stand 5
minutes.  Garnish each serving with rosemary.  Posted to JEWISH-FOOD
