God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
His entire life was one of suffering obedience and obedient suffering. He suffered throughout His life and He was obedient throughout His life, even in the face of the suffering He endured.
Pragmatism is another non-Christian philosophy that has found its way into the church. Since we can never know what is true or good, according to pragmatist philosophers, we should simply do “what works,” conceived of in material terms. This is an important strain of American philosophy, from the modernist John Dewey with his atheism and socialism to the postmodernist Richard Rorty with his relativism and leftist politics. Few Christians would agree with these philosophers if they listened to them, but simplified pragmatism can be heard constantly in church committee meetings, church-growth seminars, and books for pastors. “What works” — to increase church attendance, attract non-Christians, bring in more money, or achieve another goal — can trump all theological, historical, and biblical considerations.
Clean cast-iron skillet with soap and water. To prevent rusting, place in a
warm oven or on stove top over medium heat till water evaporates.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Remove from heat,
and sprinkle with brown sugar and ginger.
Toss apple slices with lemon juice, and arrange over brown sugar mixture;
set aside.
Beat 1/2 cup softened butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until
creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing
after each addition.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture alternately
with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in vanilla. Spoon
evenly over apples.
Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center
comes out clean. Cool in skillet on a wire rack 5 minutes; invert onto
serving plate. Makes 1 (10-inch) cake.
Notes: Select tart, green-skinned Granny Smiths for cakes and pies.
