God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
As Christians, we are called to maintain lives that can be “toured” by outsiders at any time, without embarrassment. A commitment to holiness means having a life that is always “ready for company” and open for inspection – a life that can stand up to scrutiny – not just in the obvious things, but in the hidden places where most might not think to look.
If the solemnities of our fasting, though frequent, long, and severe, do not serve to put an edge upon devout affections, to quicken prayer, to increase Godly sorrow, and to alter the temper of our minds, and the course of our lives, for the better, they do not at all answer the intention, and God will not accept them as performed to Him.
Peeled; cored, and thinly sliced apples (about 7 apples)
2
tb
Fresh lemon juice
1/2
c
White or brown sugar; firmly packed
1/2
c
Rolled old-fashioned oats
1/4
c
All-purpose flour
1/2
ts
Ground cinnamon
6
tb
Butter; cut into pieces
1/2
c
Chopped nuts; lightly toasted
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter a shallow 8-cup ovenproof pan.
In a large bowl toss the apple slices with the lemon juice and 2
tablespoons of the sugar. Spread the slices in the buttered pan. In the
same bowl mix the remaining sugar, oats, flour, and cinnamon. With your
fingertips rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it sticks together
in crumbles, then mix in the nuts. Scatter the topping over the apple
slices. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the topping is brown and
crisp and the apples tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream
or whipped cream.
NOTES : The oatmeal in this version of an old favorite gives crunch; add
nuts or not, as you like. Use peaches, pears, plums, or another fruit.
