God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
It is astounding that God wants us to call Him “Father.” The implications are staggering. Having God as our Father means that He is a living, personal being, and not an impersonal force. It means we can get to know Him. It means we can talk to Him and interact with Him. It means we can relate to Him on a personal and even an intimate basis. I might not know how to relate to an Almighty One, a Most High, or the Great I Am, because I have not met anybody like that. I have no earthly frame of reference to do so. But relating to a father? That’s different.
In the long run the answer to all those who object to the doctrine of hell is itself a question: 'What are you asking God to do?' To wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive them? They will not be forgiven. To leave them alone? Alas, I am afraid that is what He does.
Place beans in a dutch oven with water. Bring to a boil; simmer 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for one hour. Drain and rinse
beans. Return to Dutch oven with broth, garlic and bay leaves; bring to a
boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/4 hours. Stir in all remaining
ingredients. Cover and simmer for one hour or until beans and vegetables
are tender and gravy is thick. Remove bay leaves. Serve over rice.
This meal costs only $.68 per plate.
