We Love God!

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

Those who are truly sent by God...are marked by the fact that they are faithful to the message of the Gospel, exalting the Lord Jesus Christ, proclaiming to men the good news of salvation through Him, and bidding men to turn from their sins and come to Christ as Savior and Lord. They back all of their proclamations by the authority of the Bible, the Word of God, and they call Christians to lives of holiness while they themselves are living examples of holiness. Unless a man is divinely sent to preach the Word, his ministry will be ineffective to produce faith and life in those to whom he ministers. God must do the sending. I always tell young men who ask me about entering the ministry that they should never become ministers if they can possibly help it. If a man could be satisfied as president of the United States, as president of a bank or a college, as a pitcher for a big-league ball team, or in another position of honor or distinction, he has not been called to the ministry. God has not sent him. When God sends a man there is a yearning, churning, burning inside him. Like Paul he must cry, “Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16). This must be the heart feeling of everyone who has been sent with the Gospel.
Donald Grey Barnhouse

Elders “[lord] it over those allotted to [their] charge” (1 Pet. 5:3) when they think the church is there to serve them, place demands on the church that are unprofitable, desire personal fame and glory from the ministry, add or subtract from Scripture making their word more important, dominate others through power and intimidation, sinfully use the church, have a haughty demand for compliance or drive the church versus leading the church.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
New, Text, Import 8 Servings

INGREDIENTS

6 oz Bittersweet chocolate
1/2 c Granulated sugar
8 Sheets filo; defrosted
8 tb Unsalted butter(1 stick); melted
An 11- by 17-inch baking tray, lined with parchment paper

INSTRUCTIONS

EQUIPMENT
Break up 4 ounces of chocolate into 1/2-ounce pieces. Set aside. In a food
processor, finely grind the remaining chocolate with the sugar. Lay 8
sheets of filo out on top of each other. Place one sheet lengthwise on the
work surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel.
Brush the sheet with some melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of
the sugar mixture. Place a second sheet over the sugared sheet. Butter the
second sheet and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Add 2 more sheets,
buttering and sprinkling between each.
Cut the filo horizontally into 4 even strips. Starting at the left side of
one of the strips, place a 1/2-ounce piece of chocolate 2 inches from the
end. Fold the filo that is to the left of the piece of chocolate over the
chocolate toward the back side of the strip, making a 3-inch triangle. The
left end of the filo should be even with the back edge. Fold the piece of
chocolate to the right, over itself, retaining the triangular shape. Fold
the chocolate piece toward the front edge of the strip. Continue wrapping
the chocolate, alternating the direction with each fold, until you get to
the end. (It is like folding a flag.) Wrap the other strips in the same
manner. With the remaining sheets, make 4 more chocolate-filled triangles.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the triangles on the baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

A Message from our Provider:

“A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride. #C.S. Lewis”
