We Love God!

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

To concentrate on service and activity for God may often actively thwart our attaining of the true goal, God Himself. At first sight it seems heroic to fling our lives away in the service of God and of our fellows. We feel it is bound to mean more to Him than our experience of Him. Service seems so unselfish, whereas concentrating on our walk with God seems selfish and self-centered. But it is the very reverse. The things that God is most concerned about are our coldness of heart towards Himself and our proud, unbroken natures. Christian service of itself can, and so often does, leave our self-centered nature untouched… With those things hidden in our hearts, we have only to work alongside others, and find resentment, hardness, criticism, jealousy, and frustration issuing from our hearts. We think we are working for God, but the test of how little of our service for Him is revealed by our resentment or self-pity… We need to leave our lusting for ever-larger spheres of Christian service and concentrate on seeing God for ourselves and finding the deep answer for life in Him.

What is the goal of this warfare? To disarm angelic beings? No! Christ has already done that on the cross, as we read in Colossians 2:15: “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” It is simply that we take a stand, remain immovable, and that paradoxically is to advance. You advance by standing firm – as Paul repeats in Ephesians 6:11, 13, and 14.

(0)
CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
6 Servings

INGREDIENTS

2 T Dried Juniper berries
3 c Dry red wine
2 Bay leaves
1 1/2 t Dried thyme
2 Shallots, peeled and
coarsely chopped
2 c Veal stock
4 8 Whole dried chiles de
arbol
6 Venison steaks, 8 to 10 oz.
each
2 T Olive oil
1 T Salt
1 T Black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the sauce, wrap the juniper berries in a kitchen towel and
crush them using a heavy skillet or mallet. Remove them from the  towel
and place them in a saucepan with the red wine, bay leaves,  thyme, and
shallots. Simmer over medium heat about 20 minutes, until  the liquid
has reduced to 1 cup.  Add the Veal Stock and simmer over medium heat
another 15 minutes,  until the sauce has reduced to 1 1/2 cups.  While
the stock is reducing, place the chiles in a small bowl and  remove
their stems and seeds. With your fingers, tear the chiles into  small
pieces, about the size of small beans. Set aside.  Remove the sauce
from the heat and pass it through a fine sieve to  remove the herb
leaves and berry skins.  Heat coals in an open grill to a fiery hot
temperature.  Brush each steak on both sides with the olive oil and
season with  salt and pepper.  Place the steaks on the grill and cook
about 3 minutes, until they  have charred marks. Rotate.  Posted to
