God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In all of the laments and reproaches made by our seers and prophets, one misses any mention of “sin,” a word which used to be a veritable watchword of prophets. It was a word once in everybody’s mind, but now rarely if ever heard. Does that mean that no sin is involved in all our troubles – sin with an “I” in the middle? Is no one any longer guilty of anything? Guilty perhaps of a sin that could be repented and repaired or atoned for? Is it only that someone may be stupid or sick or criminal – or asleep? Wrong things are being done… But is no one responsible, no one answerable for these acts? Anxiety and depression we all acknowledge; and even vague guilt feelings; but has no one committed any sin?
Earnest intercession will be sure to bring love with it. I do not believe you can hate a man for whom you habitually pray. If you dislike any brother Christian, pray for him doubly, not only for his sake, but for your own, that you may be cured of prejudice and saved from all unkind feeling.
Wash and trim Brussels sprouts. With tip of knife, cut an X in base of
each. Place in large saucepan; add just enough water to cover. Bring to a
boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, in medium skillet, cook bacon until crisp.
Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in skillet; cool. Add flour
to cooled drippings; cook and stir over medium-low heat until bubbly.
Remove from heat. In small bowl, combine brown sugar, water, vinegar and
