God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
When you were born, your mother brought you to church.
When you were married, your wife brought you to church.
When you die, your friends will bring you to church.
Why not try coming to church on your own sometime?
So is God selfish and vain [to pursue His own glory]? No, for while it would be sinful for sinners (like us) to promote our own glory, it would be wrong if God acted for any purpose less than His own glory. Giving preeminence to any purpose other than Himself – since all things are less than God – would make God an idolater. God can give us nothing greater than Himself in all His glory, so it's to our advantage for God to glorify Himself above all.
Heat oil in medium saucepan. Add garlic and pepper flakes. Cook gently,
stirring until garlic is fragrant, 2 minutes. Add celery and bell pepper;
cok and stir until vegetables begin to soften, 3 minutes. Add drained
chickpeas, broth and tomato juice. Cover and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to
low; simmer gently until vegetables are soft, 10 minutes. Transfer to a
blender and puree; add salt to taste. Serve hot. Makes 4 small or 2 large
servings. Note: simmer longer if using a hand blender.

“An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it be not as yet performed, knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money. #Matthew Henry”
