We Love God!

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

It is evil to justify killing [the unborn] by the happy outcome of eternity for the one killed. This same justification could be used to justify killing one-year olds, or any heaven-bound believer for that matter. The Bible asks the question: 'Shall we sin that grace may abound?' (Romans 6:1) And: 'Shall we do evil that good may come?' (Romans 3:8). In both cases the answer is a resounding NO. It is presumption to step into God's place and try to make the assignments to heaven or to hell. Our duty is to obey God, not to play God.
John Piper

The true Christian is one whose religion is in his heart and life. It is felt by himself in his heart. It is seen by others in his conduct and life. He feels his sinfulness, guilt and badness, and repents. He sees Jesus Christ to be that Divine Savior whom his soul needs, and commits himself to Him. He puts off the old man with his corrupt and carnal habits and puts on the new man. He lives a new and holy life, fighting habitually against the world, the flesh and the devil. Christ Himself is the cornerstone of his Christianity. Ask him in what he trusts for the forgiveness of his many sins, and he will tell you in the death of Christ. Ask him in what righteousness he hopes to stand innocent at the judgment day, and he will tell you it is the righteousness of Christ. Ask him by what pattern he tries to frame his life, and he will tell you that it is the example of Christ. But, beside all this, there is one thing in a true Christian which is eminently peculiar to him. That thing is love to Christ.

1/2 lb Dried apricot halves, coarsely chopped
1 c Golden raisins
Juice and grated rind of 1 lemon
1 c Orange juice
2 c Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

I received a great little book for Christmas called
"From My House To Yours" that has gift recipes, ideas
and lots of little tid-bits. The following recipe is
from that book.  I'll include the notes the author
wrote and will follow this message with the recipe for
English Muffin Loaf that he makes note of. Sonya
"This is delicious with toasted thin slices of English
Muffin Loaf. Dried apricots sold in bulk are usually
more flavorful than the prepackaged kind; natural food
stores are a good source."
1. Place the apricots and raisins in a bowl and add
water to cover. Cover the bowl tightly and let it
stand overnight. Drain the liquid into a large, heavy
saucepan and chop the apricots coarsely. Add the
apricots, raisins, lemon juice and rind, and orange
juice to the pan, place over low heat, and bring to a
simmer. Cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the sugar and continue cooking, stirring
frequently until the mixture of fruit is very soft and
the syrup sheets when dropped from the side of a spoon
(220 degrees on a candy thermometer), 15 to 20
minutes. Spoon the jam into sterilized half-pint jars.
Seal the jars, process in a boiling-water bath for 10
minutes and cool. Store in a cool, dark place.
