God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Contemporary Christian literature is awash with the notion that, in order to be effective and successful, we must respond to market forces. In earlier generation, such an approach was unheard of. The tactic employed by Paul in Corinth was far closer to the model of the day. “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” That was his message. Even though the Corinthians we demanding miracles and wisdom, Paul did not give them what they wanted. Indeed, he continued to supply the one thing they clearly did not want – preaching. He rejected the style and content that was most acceptable in his day… It is not possible to give people what they want to hear and proclaim the message of the Cross at one and the same time.
Jesus won’t allow the unreconciled condition to continue among believers. In Matthew 5, if another considers you to have wronged him, Jesus says that you must go. In Matthew 18, He says that if the other person has done something wrong to you, you must go. There is never a time when you can sit and wait for your brother to come to you. Jesus doesn’t allow for that. He gives no opportunity for that. It is always your obligation to go.
ALMOND PASTE
COOKIES
PREPARE ALMOND PASTE: Process almonds in food processer until finely
chopped, almost almond butter. Add confectioners' sugar and process till
smooth. Add egg whites.
Mixture should become very stiff and form a ball in the machine. If you
cannot get it to become evenly moistened, take the mixture out and knead it
on a board "floured" with confectioners' sugar. Divide the well-blended
paste into three equal batches. (Can wrap well at this point to
refrigerate, up to a week.)
MAKE MACAROONS: Make this recipe in a food processor in three batches. For
each batch use 1/2 Cup each granulated and confectioner's sugar, 1/3 of the
coconut and almond paste, 1/8 t salt, 1 t vanilla and 2 egg whites.
In processor bowl, combine granulated sugar and coconut. Process about 2
minutes or until the coconut is finely ground. Add the confectioners' sugar
and the almond paste. Process until the mixture resembles cornmeal. With
the machine running, add the salt, vanilla and egg whites. Process until
the mixture is evenly moistened.
Drop mixture by teaspoonsful onto a cookie sheet covered with brown paper.
Bake at 325 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes, or until the macaroons are
lightly browned. Remove from oven and place brown paper on a damp towel.
When cookies are slightly cooled, use a spatula to remove them; place them
in an air-tight container so they will remain chewy. Makes 3 to 4 dozen
small cookies or 18 large ones.
