God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
So what does the Christ-honoring, non-materialistic family look like? They invest primarily in the things that will leave this world with them and as a team they are all on this same pursuit. They experience freedom and more time for the things most important because they have limited resources that they own in order not to be owned by them. They experience constant joy because the only source of joy they expect is from the Lord. They do not need to have stuff to impress others because the only person they seek to please is the Lord. They have no compelling love for the shadows of the world because their hearts see the true Substance, the beauty of God’s marvelous light. They have their priorities right: things are to be used and people are to be loved. They are content people following Christ and therefore have a great family because their mutual trust is not in material things which will let us down, but in the One who always delivers.
The practice of godliness is an exercise or discipline that focuses upon God. From this Godward attitude arises the character and conduct that we usually think of as godliness.
Cook pudding according to directions. I do not let the pudding cool - just
throw the cake mix in when it thickens and stir just til mixed (you want to
have lumps of white cake mix in the batter.) Pour into a 9x13 pan and
sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts on top. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes at 350
degrees.
It's easy, and delicious.
