We Love God!

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

When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. Insofar as I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God and instead of God, I shall be moving towards the state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest at all. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.
C.S. Lewis

Picking up any of a number of recent works on the NT canon, one is likely to find the author seeking the roots of the NT canon somewhere in the needs of the early church. One says it was the battle against heresy that prompted the church to find some authoritative texts on which to take its stand. Another points to the catechetical and liturgical need for new scriptures to nourish the spiritual life of the church. Another looks to Constantine the Great’s campaign to unify the empire, which allegedly required an agreed-upon set of scriptures as an essential tool to promote concord. These all, and more, may have played limited roles in bringing about the church’s agreement on the contents of the NT. But the ultimate foundations for the existence of a NT canon must be sought not in any of these historical exigencies, but in the gracious purpose of a self-revealing God whose word carries His own divine authority.

INSTRUCTIONS

Stan Frankenthaler, is a chef at Caffe Gianni, in downtown Boston.
This dish is equally good hot or at room temperature.  Set the oven at
425 degrees.  In a large bowl, toss the butternut  squash with the
olive oil and salt and pepper. Place the mixture in a  large heavy duty
baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10  to 20 minutes or
until soft but still holding its shape.  While the squash is baking,
place the red wine vinegar, hone and  garlic in a small sauce pan.  In
a grinder or using a mortal and  pestle, grind the chilies, coriander
seed and fennel seed together  and add to the saucepan. Bring the
mixture to a boil and reduce to  1/2 cup. Taste to make sure the glaze
is a little more tangy then  sweet and adjust seasonings if necessary.
When the squash is cooked, remove from the oven and place in a
decorative bowl.  Toss with the glaze, adjusting the salt and pepper
if needed.  Source:  THE BOSTON GLOBE; November, 1993  From Gemini's
