God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The Spirit does not glorify Himself; He glorifies the Son… This is, to me, one of the most amazing and remarkable things about the biblical doctrine of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit seems to hide Himself and to conceal Himself. He is always, as it were, putting the focus on the Son, and that is why I believe, and I believe profoundly, that the best test of all as to whether we have received the Spirit is to ask ourselves, what do we think of, and what do we know about, the Son. Is the Son real to us? That is the work of the Spirit. He is glorified indirectly; He is always pointing us to the Son.
To be sure, it is much easier to be loving if you’re in love, but being in love is not intrinsically necessary to being loving – else the Great Commandment is a farce.
CHOCOLATE FROSTING
Place pecans evenly over bottoms of two well-greased and lightly floured
9-inch round layer pans. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and
sugar into mixing bowl. Add Crisco, milk, and vanilla. Beat for 1 1/2
minutes, 150 strokes per minute, until
Bake in a moderate oven (350 degree .F) 35 to 30 minutes. Let cool in pans
10 to 15 minutes before turning out. Cool thoroughly and frost layers, nut
side up, with chocolate frosting. Spread frosting between and on sides of
layers, but frost only 1/2 inch around top edge of cake. Decorate chocolate
frosting with reserved 1/3 cup white frosting, thinned with 1 to 2
teaspoons water for easy spreading.
Chocolate Frosting: Combine 2 squares (2 oz) baking chocolate, sugar and
water in sauce pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until
chocolate melts and mixture is smooth and thickened. Remove from heat. Add
egg yolks; beat thoroughly. Cool.
Cream Crisco and vanilla. Gradually blend in sifted confectioners' sugar,
creaming well. Reserve 1/3 cup of this frosting to decorate cake. Add the
cool chocolate mixture to remaining white frosting; beat until smooth.
