God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
So the meaning of away from the presence of the Lord does not mean that God is absent in every sense, but in those senses [His love which produces His pleasures forevermore/fullness of joy]. God will be terribly present in another sense. All reality continues to say: In Him we live and move and have our being. And it is still in hell that no one can hide from the Lord or escape the terrible countenance of His anger. So God's power is present in hell as the One who sustains our being and the One who enforces justice and the One who maintains suffering. He is present in all the ways men do not want Him to be present and none of the ways that believers enjoy His presence.
Sanctification means intense concentration on God’s point of view. It means every power of body, soul, and spirit is chained and kept for God’s purpose only. It will cause an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth, and an immense broadening of all our interests in God. Are we prepared for God to do all in us that He separated us for? The reason some of us have not entered into the experience of sanctification is that we have not realized its meaning from God’s standpoint. Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us. Jesus has prayed that we might be one with Him as He is one with the Father. The one and only characteristic of the Holy Spirit in a person is a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ and freedom from everything that is unlike Him.
Cover the apricots with the apple juice and bring to a full boil. Reduce
the heat and simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Stir the apricots occasionally
so they will not stick or burn. Let the apricots cool, then strain.
Reserve the cooking liquid. Chop the cooked apricots and set aside. In a
2-quart saucepan combine the orange juice, honey, water, cornstarch, ginger
and cinnamon. Heat, stirring constantly, until thickened slightly. Remove
the pan from the heat and add the apricots, their cooking liquid and
vermouth. Serve hot or well chilled. From: Syd's Cookbook.

A Message from our Provider:
“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
