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

The would-be counselor should have some basic knowledge of human psychology, normal and abnormal. He must be a good listener, slow to interrupt, until he feels sure that he has something worthwhile to contribute, some helpful question to ask. The counselor should be genuinely humble and receptive, with an objective approach to the problem under discussion, and he should avoid all well worn clichés, truisms and easy slick solutions. He is not there to sermonize or to moralize – certainly not till he has heard all that the enquirer has to say, and he must avoid a holier-than-thou attitude. Further, he should not show shocked surprise, disapproval or condemnation.

Reasons why confessing our sin to another aids in spiritual victory (Jas. 5:16): 1. It forces us to identify our sin and deal with specifics as compared to the general, “God forgive me for my sins.” 2. It pulls us out of spiritual isolation. 3. It eliminates any temptation toward hypocrisy since at least one other person is aware of our weakness. 4. It promotes humility which is needed to fight the flesh. 5. It encourages accountability. 6. It gets others to bear our burden. 7. It solicits prayer from others in this spiritual battle.

INSTRUCTIONS

CRUST
FILLING
To make the crust, sift the flour with the salt.  Cut the butter into the
flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle
on ice water while you stir with a fork until the dough hangs together.
Form into a ball and refrigerate for 15-30 min. Don't chill too long or you
will have trouble working the dough.
In a large bowl, mix together all the filling ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Cut the ball of dough into 6 equal pieces.  Roll out each piece to about
1/8" thick.  Cut a 9" circle out of each pastry piece.
Place 1/6 of the filling in the middle of each pastry circle.  Pack it down
so that it will fit.  Pull one edge over the filling to make a half-circle.
Seal the two edges together like a turnover.  Turn the edges over all
around and press with a fork or your fingers to double seal. Cut slits in
the tops of each pastie so that steam can escape.
Bake for 15 min at 375F, then reduce the heat to 350F and bake for 15 ~ 20
min more, until lightly golden.  Let the pasties rest for at least 5 min
out of the oven before serving.
Make plenty.  Pasties are even better when reheated the following day.
