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

What may we observe about deacons in Acts 6:1-7? 1. Their work was practical in nature. 2. Their name also denotes the practical nature of their work. They are servants. But practical work is spiritual work when done for Christ and the kingdom. 3. Their objective was to relieve the elders (originally the apostles) for the ministry of the Word, prayer, and oversight of the church. 4. They were to be accountable to the Elders (“whom we may put in charge”). 5. Their work was assigned and was not related to decision-making for the church as a whole. 6. Some deacons were also gifted in other areas of ministry and were at liberty to use their gifts. Stephen and Phillip, for instance, were deacons who also had other gifting. As deacons, however, they functioned in a practical way. Deacons are not limited to practical service, but must be engaged in practical service to be deacons.

Recipe by: Country Folk Art Magazine, December 1994
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees; grease a 10 x 15-inch jelly roll pan.
Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer with the sides touching in
the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the walnuts evenly over the crackers. In a
heavy small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and
the mixture begins to boil. Continue to boil the syrup for 3 minutes longer
without stirring; pour over the crackers. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or
until bubbly and slightly darker around the edges. Cool completely in the
pan.  Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container. Makes 1 1/2
pounds.
