God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Here’s the [Gospel] message in four parts:
1. God, who is perfectly holy, just, and good, created us to display His glorious character and rule.
2. We rebelled, choosing to display our own glory and follow our own rule, earning God’s just wrath against such sin.
3. God sent His Son to reestablish God’s rule by living the perfect God-imaging life, dying on the cross to pay the penalty for God’s wrath against sin, and rising in victory over sin and death.
4. We are now called to repent of our sinful self-rule, confess Jesus as Lord, put our trust wholly in His finished work on the cross, and live the obedient and free life He means for us to live.
God’s covenant faithfulness is our measure, our norm. The faithful love of Christ models the Christian man’s marriage covenant. Jesus does not love the church because it is pure and spotless – He purifies the church in order to make it spotless. Just so, godly husbands love their wives despite their wives’ blemishes, not until they get blemishes. Thus we do not size up our wives each week to decide if we will love them a while longer. The idea of ever-fresh decisions, even decisions to stay faithful, is naïve.

INSTRUCTIONS
SALAD
DRESSING
Today's recipe is readily prepared in under 20-minutes. Add a few fresh
ingredients to your grocery list this week and take the weekend off while
you begin to plan your meals ahead of time in order to minimize your
kitchen-time, during the summertime. (At least in the Northern Hemisphere!)
This particular pasta salad goes well with a couple barbecued ribs and a
baked potato from the grill so get outside and enjoy yourself, as Past
Greats continue at Recipe-a-Day!
Prepare pasta in a large pot of boiling water as directed on the package
until al dente. Drain and cool. Toss with a teaspoon of olive oil to keep
from sticking, if desired. Combine peas, red onion, bell pepper, Cilantro
and squash in a large bowl and add cooled pasta. Toss to mix.
To prepare salad dressing combine lime juice, Cilantro, olive oil, sugar,
cumin, salt, and black pepper in small bowl. Whisk to thoroughly blend.
Pour over pasta and chill. Serve on a bed of salad greens topped with the
pasta salad. Cover and refrigerate to store.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
