God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
This is the rock where we stand when the dark clouds gather and the floods lick at our feet: justification is by grace alone (not mixed with our merit), through faith alone (not mixed with our works) on the basis of Christ alone (not mingling his righteousness with ours), to the glory of God alone (not ours).
We are trusted to spread the spirit of love. Tenderness in judgment, the habit of thinking the best of one another, unwillingness to believe evil, grief if we are forced to do so, eagerness to believe good, joy over one recovered from any slip or fall, unselfish gladness in another’s joys, sorrow in another’s sorrow, readiness to do anything to help another entirely irrespective of self – all this and much more is included in that wonderful word love. If love weakens among us, if it ever becomes possible to tolerate the least shadow of an unloving thought, our Fellowship will begin to perish. Unlove is deadly. It is a cancer. It may kill slowly but it always kills in the end. Let us fear it, fear to give room to it as we should fear to nurse a cobra. It is deadlier than any cobra. And just as one minute drop of the almost invisible cobra venom spreads swiftly all over the body of one into whom it has been injected, so one drop of the gall of unlove in my heart or yours, however unseen, has a terrible power of spreading all through our Family, for we are one body – we are parts of one another. If one member suffers loss, all suffer loss. Not one of us liveth to herself.
Have butcher debone & skin chicken. To make them easier to slice, store in
freezer until partly frozen. Slice into long, thin slivers. Let thaw
completely at room temperature. Heat oil in large skillet. Add chicken
slivers, soy sauce, salt, sugar & pepper. Cook, stirring a few minutes or
just until chicken is no longer pink. In small bowl, make smooth paste of
water & cornstarch. Stir into chicken mixture with chicken broth, water
chestnuts, celery & mushrooms. Cook, stirring until slightly thickened &
translucent. Sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serve over rice.
