God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The first heart God’s Word needs to reach is that of the preacher. There will be no benefit to our people from expository preaching unless we ourselves are being impacted by the Scripture we are preparing to preach. It is imperative, when we are dealing with the biblical text, that we are personally changed by it.
Strong Christians refuse to make it about themselves and the engagement in petty battles. It’s not about personal vendettas, but winning the war for Jesus. Weak people get easily offended and use their energy to defend their wounded ego. Their will and their kingdom now becomes more important than God’s will and kingdom. And when Christians get there, they are in the flesh and being used by the devil. They are defeated.

This may be the ultimate romantic dessert. If nothing else, it gives you an
excuse to lower the lights while you flambe the cherries, and nobody said
you have to turn the lights back up right away.
This is traditionally finished in a chafing-dish at table side. You may
complete the preparation on the stove, but some of the drama will be lost.
Combine the drained cherries, lemon rind, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and 4
Tbs. cognac in a small bowl and allow cherries to macerate for at least one
hour.
When ready to prepare, drain the macerating juices from the cherries and
blend the liquid with cornstarch and with 3 or 4 Tbs. of the reserved
canning juices. Heat until thickened, adding more of the cherry juice if
needed. Before entering the dining room stir in the cherries and heat
through. To flambe, add the cherry mixture to the chafing-dish, sprinkle
with 3 Tbs. granulated sugar and add 1/2 cup cognac. Heat and ignite vapor
with a lighted match. Stir with a log handled metal spoon until the flame
dies down. Serve over vanilla ice cream. Serves 2 to 4.
