We Love God!

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

Reasons Not to Sin: 1. Because a little sin leads to more sin. 2. Because my sin invites the discipline of God. 3. Because the time spent in sin is forever wasted. 1. Because my sin never pleases but always grieves God who loves me. 2. Because my sin places a greater burden on my spiritual leaders. 3. Because in time my sin always brings heaviness to my heart. 4. Because I am doing what I do not have to do. 5. Because my sin always makes me less than what I could be. 6. Because others, including my family, suffer consequences due to my sin. 7. Because my sin saddens the godly. 8. Because my sin makes the enemies of God rejoice. 9. Because sin deceives me into believing I have gained when in reality I have lost. 10. Because sin may keep me from qualifying for spiritual leadership. 11. Because the supposed benefits of my sin will never outweigh the consequences of disobedience. 12. Because repenting of my sin is such a painful process, yet I must repent. 13. Because sin is a very brief pleasure for an eternal loss. 14. Because my sin may influence others to sin. 15. Because my sin may keep others from knowing Christ. 16. Because sin makes light of the cross, upon which Christ died for the very purpose of taking away my sin. 17. Because it is impossible to sin and follow the Spirit at the same time. 18. Because God chooses not to respect the prayers of those who cherish their sin. 19. Because sin steals my reputation and robs me of my testimony. 20. Because others once more earnest than I have been destroyed by just such sins. 21. Because the inhabitants of heaven and hell would all testify to the foolishness of this sin. 22. Because sin and guilt may harm both mind and body. 23. Because sins mixed with service make the things of God tasteless. 24. Because suffering for sin has no joy or reward, though suffering for righteousness has both. 25. Because my sin is adultery with the world. 26. Because, though forgiven, I will review this very sin at the Judgment Seat where loss and gain of eternal rewards are applied. 27. Because I can never really know ahead of time just how severe the discipline for my sin might be. 28. Because my sin may be an indication of a lost condition. 29. Because to sin is not to love Christ. 30. Because my unwillingness to reject this sin now grants it an authority over me greater than I wish to believe. 31. Because sin glorifies God only in His judgment of it and His turning of it to good use, never because it is worth anything on its own. 32. Because I promised God He would be Lord of my life.

INGREDIENTS

1 Or 2 medium leek
2 Red capsicums
2 Yellow capsicums
1 Spring onions
50 g Butter
1/2 c Italian parsley, chopped
20 Fresh basil leaves, torn
300 g Soft goats cheese
300 Double cream
150 g Cream cheese
1 T Water
2 t Gelatine
Salt and pepper to taste
3 T White wine vinegar
3 T Olive oil
1/2 t French mustard
1 Tomato, diced
1 Cucumber, seeded and diced
10 Kalamata olives, stoned and
chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut and seed the capsicums and cut into large slices. Place these
under a hot grill and cook until the skins are blackened and
blistered. Place the black peppers into a double thickness plastic  bag
and seal, allowing them to steam. Set aside for thirty minutes.  Remove
the peppers from the bag and remove the pepper skins.  Slice the leek
lengthways and separate the leaves. Wash in cold water  to remove all
the grit, then plunge the cleaned leaves into a pot of  boiling water.
Boil for-2 minutes, then remove the leek and rinse  under cold water.
Dry well.  Line a standard loaf tin with plastic wrap then drape the
leek leaves  over the base and sides of the tin, allowing the long ends
to hang  over the sides.  Heat the butter and saute the spring onions
until softened. Mix the  softened cream cheese, goats cheese, herbs and
spring onion mixture  in the large bowl of an electric mixture.
Sprinkle the gelatine over  the cold water and allow to soak for 1
minute. Place the gelatine  mixture in the microwave and heat for 20
seconds on medium until the  mixture is boiling (watch carefully to
avoid boil-over) Stir well  with a fork. Add the dissolved gelatine and
cream to the cheese  mixture and mix to combine thoroughly.  Pour one
third of the cheese mixture into the prepared loaf pan and  cover with
alternate red and yellow pepper slices. Cover with another  third of
the cheese mixture, repeating the capsicum layer. Finish  with
remainder of cheese mixture, then drape the leek overhang back  over
the cheese filling to enclose. (Use any left over leek to fill  in the
gaps if necessary.) Chill overnight.  To serve, remove the terrine from
the loaf tin and discard the glad  wrap. Using an electric knife slice
thick, even portions of the  terrine. Place a slice of the terrine on
each plate and sprinkle with  the tomato, cucumber and olives. Whisk
the vinegar, oil and mustard  together and drizzle over.  Converted by
