We Love God!

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

Unlike common grace, which extends to all mankind, the special grace of God is the unmerited favor that God extends to His people. By means of common grace, God restrains sin in the world. By means of special grace, Jesus Christ bears the curse and penalty of sin for His people. In common grace, God gives good things to all men. In special grace, God gives the very righteousness of Jesus Christ to His people. Through common grace, God provides unmerited favor to all mankind for a time. Through special grace, God provides unmerited favor to His people for all eternity.

It is easy to praise the Lord from the heights of His love, but it is rich to worship Him from the depths of His love. If you are in a time of testing or trial may I encourage you today to stop and worship the Lord. Find comfort in His word and in the obedience that comes from surrendering our will and rights to Him. Job prayed in the course of his trials, "Though He may slay me, I will hope in Him." Our Lord is sovereign – He is in control of all things. There is mercy in the wilderness dear friend. Come to Christ Jesus today, worship Him in spirit and truth, and drink of His mercy as He molds you to Himself.

2 c Navy beans
1/2 ts Baking soda
1 md Yellow onion; peeled & sliced

3 tb Dark molasses
1 tb Cider vinegar
1 ts Dry mustard

1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

During tough times in the very early days, the colonists in New England
practically lived on salt pork and beans. The beans were brought with them
from England and proved to be a wise solution to the problems offered by
cold New England winters. There are many variations on this basic dish, and
I suggest that you begin with some variations of your own.
Soak the beans overnight in ample water to cover. Drain the beans and
cook in ample water with the baking soda. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20
minutes. Drain.
Place 1/3 of the beans in a 2-quart baking pot with a lid. Add 1/3  of
the diced salt pork and 1/3 of the onion. Add another 1/3 of the beans and
repeat the layers, ending with salt pork on top. Mix the remaining
ingredients with a cup of hot water and pour over the beans. Add enough
additional hot water to cover the beans. Place the lidded baking pot in a
300° oven for about 4 hours, longer if the beans are not tender. Stir only
once or twice during the cooking process. You will have to add additional
water to the beans as they cook. Keep them just moist. Don't drown them
out!
Traditionally, this dish was served on Saturday night along with brown
bread and ham or frankfurters; thus the beans and wieners routine. On
Sunday you could then have baked beans, brown bread, and codfish cakes ...
all for breakfast. This tradition began in very early days so that the
Pilgrim housewife could bake and serve beans on Saturday and then again on
Sunday morning, thus providing her with a meal and no work on the Sabbath.
