We Love God!

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

Now, how would a God like this go about loving us? Would it not be by providing us with the highest good possible? And is not God Himself the highest good? Therefore, if God really loves us, He must work to bring us into the enjoyment of who He is (there’s our happiness) and thereby win from our hearts praise for Himself (there’s His glory). He must do everything in His infinite power to lead us into praise and honor of His name. By winning for Himself our worship as the God of all glory, we experience the greatest possible satisfaction, namely, enjoying God. There’s our happiness again. And God is most glorified by our enjoyment of Him. Or, to put it in words we already heard, God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
Sam Storms

Faith is not an instinct. It certainly is not a feeling – feelings don’t help much when you’re in the lions’ den or hanging on a wooden Cross. Faith is not inferred from the happy way things work. It is an act of will, a choice, based on the unbreakable Word of a God who cannot lie, and who showed us what love and obedience and sacrifice mean, in the person of Jesus Christ.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 c All-purpose flour
1/4 ts Baking soda
1/8 ts Double acting baking powder
1/8 ts Salt
14 oz Semisweet chocolate —
Finely chopped
1 c Granulated sugar
9 tb Unsalted butter — cut
Tablespoons
1/4 c Light corn syrup
1/4 c Water
3 lg Eggs — chilled
1 tb Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c Coarsely chopped walnut —
Halves, divided
9 oz Swiss dark chocolate — cut
Inch chunks — divided

INSTRUCTIONS

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
Line a 13-by-9 1/2-inch baking pan with a double thickness of aluminum foil
so that the foil extends 2 inches beyond the two short ends of the pan.
Fold the overhang down along the sides of the pan. Butter the bottom of the
foil-lined pan. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda,
baking powder and salt. Place the semisweet chocolate in a large bowl. In a
medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup and water. Cook over
medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the butter
melts, the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Remove the
pan from the heat and pour the hot syrup over the chocolate. Let the
mixture stand for 1 to 2 minutes, to melt the chocolate. Whisk until
smooth. One at a time, whisk in the eggs, blending until smooth. Whisk in
the vanilla and the flour mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth. Using
a rubber spatula, fold in 1 cup of the walnuts and 6 ounces of the Swiss
chocolate chunks. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it
evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of walnuts and 3
ounces of chocolate chunks over the top of the batter. Bake the brownies
for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the
center of the brownie comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Cool the brownies in the pan set on a wire rack. When the brownies are
completely cool, cover the pan of brownies with plastic wrap and let the
brownies set at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight. Invert
the brownies onto a large plate or cutting board. Remove the pan and
carefully peel off the foil. Invert again onto a smooth cutting surface and
cut into 24 bars. Store the brownies at room temperature in an airtight
container for up to five days.
