We Love God!

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

The rich etymology of “discipline” suggests a conscious divestment of all encumbrances, and then a determined investment of all one’s energies. Just as ancient athletes discarded everything and competed gumnos (naked), so must the disciplined Christian man divest himself of every association, habit, and tendency which impedes godliness. Then, with this lean spiritual nakedness accomplished, he must invest all his energy and sweat in the pursuit of godliness.
Kent Hughes

The church is the new covenant community – “This cup is the new covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25) – we say when we take communion. The new covenant is the spiritual work of God to put His Spirit within us, write the law on our hearts, and cause us to walk in His statutes. It is a spiritually authentic community. Unlike the old covenant community it is defined by true spiritual life and faith. Having these things is what it means to belong to the Church. Therefore to give the sign of the covenant, baptism, to those who are merely children of the flesh and who give no evidence of new birth or the presence of the Spirit or the law written on their heart or of vital faith in Christ is to contradict the meaning of the new covenant community and to go backwards in redemptive history.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350e Spread bread on 2 large rimmed baking sheets.

in large saucepan. Simmer  mixture 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add
porcini mushrooms. Cover and  soak until porcini are tender, about 15
minutes. Drain porcini  through sieve set over medium saucepan,
pressing on porcini to  extract as much liquid as possible. Coarsely
chop porcini. Set  mushroom broth and porcini aside.  Melt 2
tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high  heat. Add
leeks and carrots and saute until carrots are crisp-tender,  about 6
minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Melt remaining 3  tablespoons butter
in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add crimini  mushrooms and saut
until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are golden,  about 6 minutes. Add
shallots and reserved porcini mushrooms; saute 1  minute. Add remaining
2/3 cup Madeira and cook until liquid  evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add
herbs and saute 1 minute. Add to  bowl with leeks. (Bread, mushroom
broth and vegetable mixture can be  prepared 1 day ahead. Cover
separately. Store bread at room  temperature; refrigerate mushroom
broth and vegetable mixture.) Add  vegetable mixture to bread. Season
