God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
And who and what are ministers themselves? Frail men, fallible, sinning men, exposed to every snare, to temptation in every form; and from the very post of observation they occupy, the fairer mark for the fiery darts of the foe. They are no mean victims the great Adversary is seeking, when he would wound and cripple Christ’s ministers. One such victim is worth more to the kingdom of darkness than a score of common men; and on this very account, the temptations are probably more subtle and severe than those encountered by ordinary Christians. If this subtle Deceiver fails to destroy them, he artfully aims at neutralizing their influence by quenching the fervor of their piety, lulling them into negligence, and doing all in his power to render their work irksome. How perilous the condition of that minister then, whose heart is not encouraged, whose hands are not strengthened, and who is not upheld by the prayers of his people! It is not in his own closet and on his own knees alone that he finds security and comfort and ennobling, humbling and purifying thoughts and joys; but it is when his people also seek them in his behalf that he becomes a better and happier man and a more useful minister of the everlasting gospel.
In one sense we must demand the respect of our children as God commands it. But in another sense, we desire that we should earn the respect of our children. How do we do that? We trust them with the appropriate levels of responsibility. We guide, but permit them to make some of their own decisions. We pick them up when they fall. We commit ourselves to their mother. We do what we say. We confess our failures, asking for their forgiveness and admitting we do not have all the answers. We make them a priority with our time. We provide the proper boundaries. We protect them physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually. We show that we believe in them and are pleased to have them as our children.
Pound steaks to about 1/4" thickness. Rub both sides with salt, pepper,
paprika and garlic powder. Heat oil in a large skillet, oil should be about
1/4" high. Beat egg and milk together in a bowl. In another bowl, season
the flour with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. When the oil is
hot, dredge the steaks in the flour, then in the egg mixture, then back
again in the flour. Place them immediately in the skillet. Fry on both
sides until golden brown. Remove and set aside. Remove most of the oil from
the skillet, leaving behind the bits of meat etc. Reheat the oil and add
the onion. Cook until golden then add about 3 Tbsp. of flour, whisking it
in. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth scraping the bottom well, add a
little water if it is still too thick. Bring to boil then add cream and
parsley and cook another minute. Serve with mashed potatoes, corn bread, or
biscuits.
