God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The invisibility of God is a great problem. It was already a problem to God’s people in Old Testament days. Their pagan neighbors would taunt them, saying, “Where Is now your God?” Their gods were visible and tangible, but Israel’s God was neither. Today in our scientific culture young people are taught not to believe in anything which is not open to empirical investigation. How then has God solved the problem of His own invisibility? The first answer is of course “in Christ.” Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. John 1:18: “No one has ever seen God, but God the only Son has made him known.” “That’s wonderful,” people say, “but it was 2,000 years ago. Is there no way by which the invisible God makes Himself visible today?” There is. We return to 1 John 4:12: “No one has ever seen God.” It is precisely the same introductory statement. But instead of continuing with reference to the Son of God, it continues: “If we love one another, God dwells in us.” In other words, the invisible God, who once made Himself visible in Christ, now makes Himself visible in Christians, if we love one another. It is a breathtaking claim. The local church cannot evangelize, proclaiming the gospel of love, if it is not itself a community of love.
The big difference…between a lecture and a sermon is that a sermon does not start with a subject; a sermon should always be expository. In a sermon the theme or the doctrine is something that arises out of the text and its context, it is something which is illustrated by that text and context.

INSTRUCTIONS
THE "LARK" (COOKING, WP51, C
Unless the instructions that came with your ABM call for putting the
yeast in the pan first and incorporating the liquid ingredients last, pour
the milk into the baking pan of your ABM and break in the egg. If the
butter is not soft, cut it into small chunks to ensure its blending into
the dough, then add it to the liquids.
Next add the almond paste, slicced so it will blend better too. Measure in
the flour, brown sugar, and salt, and add the yeast as directed for your
bread maker.
You can use your machine's full cycle with this bread, but the quick cycle
is better. If a light color setting is available, use it as well.
As soon as the bread has finished baking, remove it from the machine,
closing the cover again, and ease the loaf from the pan. Combine the corn
syrup and warm water and brush the top of the loaf with this mixture, using
a pastry brush. Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the glaze, put the bread
gently back in its pan, and return it to the electronic oven for a few
minutes to dry the glaze a bit. FROM THE RECIPE COLLECTION OF SUZY.Q
