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

Prayer is not an elective but the principal element in the kaleidoscope of spiritual characteristics that mark a preacher. These traits unite into a powerful spiritual force; they build a spokesman for God. Jesus, the finest model, and other effective spokesmen for God have been mighty in prayer coupled with the virtues of godliness and dependence on God. The composite of spiritual qualities that centers in prayer is conspicuous of God’s long line of proclaimers in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and in church history, even to the present day. Some books on essentials for preaching slight prayer, but others acknowledge its invaluable role. Preachers who follow the biblical model take prayer very seriously. In sermon preparation, they steep themselves in prayer.

James Rosscup

So deeply planted are the roots of human corruption, that even after we are born again, renewed, “washed, sanctified, justified,” and made living members of Christ, these roots remain alive in the bottom of our hearts, and, like the leprosy in the walls of the house, we never get rid of them until the earthly house of this tabernacle is dissolved. Sin, no doubt, in the believer’s heart, has no longer dominion. It is checked, controlled, mortified, and crucified by the expulsive power of the new principle of grace. The life of a believer is a life of victory, and not of failure. But the very struggles which go on within his bosom, the fight that he finds it needful to fight daily, the watchful jealousy which he is obliged to exercise over his inner man, the contest between the flesh and the spirit, the inward “groanings” which no one knows but he who has experienced them - all, all testify to the same great truth, all show the enormous power and vitality of sin. Mighty indeed must that foe be who even when crucified is still alive!

Makes about 64 small cubes.
Soften the gelatin in 1/2 cup of the apple juice.  Boil remaining juice
with the sugar for 15 minutes to concentrate it. Mix the lemon and lime
juice, and add all but 1/4 cup cornstarch to dissolve it in the mixture.
Add both gelatin mixture and cornstarch mixture to the boiled juice and
boil again rapidly for 10 minutes until very thick, stirring constantly.
Taste for sweet and sour and add more lemon juice if wanted.
Mix in the walnuts and pour mixture into a 9-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan that
has been dipped in cold water.  Let paste harden 12 hours or overnight,
then cut with a sharp knife into squares. Mix together the reserved 1/4 cup
cornstarch and powdered sugar.  Remove squares with a spatula and roll each
in the powdered sugar mixture (the cornstarch helps keep the sugar dry).
