God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Do not stop to ask the writer if God has granted all his prayers. He has not. To have said “Yes” to some of them would have spelt curse instead of blessing. To have answered others was, alas! a spiritual impossibility – he was not worthy of the gifts he sought. The granting of some of them would but have fostered spiritual pride and self-satisfaction. How plain all these things seem now, in the fuller light of God's Holy Spirit!
Adam the sinner furthered the purposes of God to the same degree as Adam the righteous... What Adam aimed to do and what Adam actually managed to do are not the same. In a different way, but in the same degree, Adam carried forward the purpose of God. Adam’s act was sinful because he did not aim to please God. His motive was wrong, and God judged him for it. But God meant to use even that evil to advance His own glory.
The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier
texture that's best for applesauce.
Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven(325
deg F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Add spices. Return to oven and cook 1 hour more. Apple butterrequires
long, slow cooking. (Can also be made in a crockpot.)
