God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We are told men ought not to preach without preparation. Granted. But, we add, men ought not to hear without preparation. Which, do you think, needs the most preparation, the sower or the ground? I would have the sower come with clean hands, but I would have the ground well-plowed and harrowed, well-turned over, and the clods broken before the seed comes in. It seems to me that there is more preparation needed by the ground than by the sower, more by the hearer than by the preacher.
Five correct ways to deal with anger:
1. Suppress. Restrain; subdue the negative expression (Prov. 29:11; Prov. 17:14; Prov. 20:3).
2. Assess. Evaluate the situation objectively.
a. Consider the other person’s perspective.
b. Consider your contribution to the problem (Matt. 7:3-5; James 1:19).
3. Confess. “Say the same thing as God” (I John 1:9).
4. Process. Proceed to make it right.
a. “Turn the other cheek” (Matt. 5:39).
b. Gentle answer (Prov. 15:1).
c. Meekness (Eph. 4:2; I Peter 3:15).
d. Forgiveness (Matt. 18:22; Col. 3:13).
e. Give a blessing (I Peter 3:9).
5. Access. In computer terminology this means “to connect with,” “to communicate with.” The foregoing behavioral expressions must be a result of the Christian having 'accessed' with God (1 Peter 2:23).
French bread
Melt butter in a large, shallow baking pan. Add 1 1/2 squeezed lemons &
everything except shrimp. Let simmer 5 minutes. Wash shrimp (leave shells
on) & place in pan, & baste. Bake at 350 degrees until shrimp are pink on
top, 5-8 minutes. Turn shrimp, salt & pepper lightly, & bake 10 minutes.
Squeeze 1/2 lemon & a few dashes Worcestershire on top & serve with French
bread for dipping that great sauce. 4 servings. This is from the New
