God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We have no business casting judgment on homosexuality if we are engaged in any sexual sin ourselves. In God’s economy, sex is reserved exclusively between a husband and a wife. Anything beyond that is sin. Yet even all believers in the flesh have a tendency to desire and practice what our Lord condemns in this area too. Maybe it is not homosexuality, but are you sleeping around or living with someone who is not your spouse? Are you downloading porn? Are you fantasizing in your mind impure sexual images? We dare not shake our finger at Sodom and Gomorrah if we too are involved with any sexual immorality.
Consider the impact of one godly father, Jonathan Edwards. This famous early American pastor, writer, and one-time president of Princeton University had 11 children. Of his known male descendants:
More than 300 became pastors, missionaries or theological professors
120 were professors at various universities;
110 became attorneys;
60 were prominent authors;
30 were judges;
14 became presidents of universities or colleges;
3 served in the U.S. Congress;
1 became vice president of the United States.
Preheat griddle over med-high heat. Stir together flour, cream of tartar,
salt, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and buttermilk powder. Add water and
stir until well combined. Turn the batter onto a well floured surface,
knead a few turns and pat into a circle about 6 1/2" in diameter. With a
sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Melt the shortening on the
griddle. When the shortening is hot, lower the heat to med. and place the
scones on the griddle. Cook until the first side is golden brown, then turn
and cook the other side. Test for doneness by splitting 1 scone. It should
be not be doughy, but should look like a biscuit. Remove the scones from
the griddle and serve with butter and apple butter.
