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

[Children] cannot bring themselves up properly. This cannot happen because God says “foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child” (Prov. 22:15), and that “a child left to himself, a child who gets his own way bring shame to his mother” (Prov. 29:15). Scripture thus asserts that if you allow a child to bring himself up, if you raise him in an atmosphere of complete freedom, if you allow him to make all his own choices, to do his own thing, to express himself freely, the result will be shameful. God never intended children to bring themselves up. He gave them parents who are to be actively engaged in making the children what God wants them to be.

Some people will threaten to leave the church if they don’t get what they want and intentionally create a wave of destruction in their departure that takes the pastors months to mop up. Some people will complain that the pastors never share their weaknesses, yet those very people when upset with the pastor will use his revealed weaknesses against him when given the opportunity. Some will complain that the pastors never reach out to them and then when the pastor reaches out, they will accuse him of badgering them. Some will want the all the details of leadership decisions and then accuse the pastors of gossiping when they share anything. Some will tell the pastors they need to delegate more, yet they feel slighted when their situation is delegated to another. And possibly most difficult of all, some people will show great zeal for the Lord, encourage the pastor’s heart and monopolize much of his time, and then walk away, but not before stabbing him in the back and breaking his heart.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Coat baking sheet with non-stick spray or

powder, baking soda, and salt.  Whisk together egg equivalents, lemon zest,
and lemon juice, and add to the dry ingredients. Mix well. Working on a
floured surface, shape dough into two logs, each about 14 inches long and
1-1/2 inches thick.  Set the logs on prepared baking sheet, at least 4
inches apart (the dough will spread during baking). Bake for 20 to 25
minutes, until firm to the touch. Transfer the logs to the rack to cool.
Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Cut the logs diagonally into
1/2-inch-thick slices, using a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion.
Stand the slices on their sides on the baking sheet and return to the oven.
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before storing.
Biscotti will crisp as they cool.  Store, in an air-tight container, up to
one month.
Makes about 4 dozen biscotti.
