God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Yes, we are promised trouble in the world. Yes, we are not always guaranteed deliverance from our enemies. But we are promised sufficient grace to sustain our soul during all afflictions. And we have the Holy Spirit to give us joy and peace and wisdom and hope during all our afflictions. We have His word that regardless of what happens to us that everything will ultimately turn out for our greatest good. We know our trials are in His hands – hands that are good, loving, wise and sovereign. And when our assigned time on this earth is done we have promises far clearer than anything King David even experienced. We have the hope of being with Him in Paradise for all of eternity.
Today, the pressure to fill auditoriums and services has driven many pastors to place the felt needs, or tastes, of the people above their duty to Christ. On every hand we hear of the Gospel being molded into a non-confrontative message intended to meet felt needs and impress the sinful heart. And, by most standards, this new philosophy of church life is working, as more and more auditoriums are filled with people hungry for a message that will affirm that they are actually on fairly good terms with the Almighty. But the biblical message is the message of the cross. It cuts right across the grain of the modern age's preoccupation with pride, tearing down the façade and exposing the wretchedness of the human heart… Unfortunately, while the modern “un-gospel” may fill seats, it is the true gospel of sin and grace that is “the power of God unto salvation” (Rom. 1:16).
The best way to prepare this recipe in a food processor, because it
chops the ingredients finely enough and blends them together for you. But
if a food processor is not handy, you can use a blender and a chef's
kniofe. It will still come out great, no matter how you do it!
First, mix the cream cheese to a pasty consistency. It has to be soft
and pliable. THen, in a large mixing bowl, whip together the cheese and
the mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth. Toss in the Tabasco at this
point and blend it in, too. Next, add the minced onions, the celery, the
seasonings, the finely chopped black olives, and the crabmeat. Just put
them all together -- it's not necessary to add them one at a time. But is
*is* necessary to blend them all *gently*. If you get rough, you'll smash
the ingredients and you'll lose the crispness.
When you're ready to serve, lay out the *whole* bag of Doritos on a
pizza pan and stuff each one, heaping on the crabmeat mixture and
sprinkling the tops with paprika. To increase the flavor, put the stuffed
chips in the refrigerator for an hour or two. Author's note: ...While
crabmeat is used in the original dish, you can also substitute chopped
shrimp or crawfish for the crabmeat, and the basic mix is also excellent
for stuffing avocados, tomatoes, celery stalks, and just about anyting your
taste dictates. Note from me: I don't care for Nacho Cheese Flavor Doritos
but instead these are great with the unsalted style chips you get with
salsa at Mexican restaurants. Source: Frank Davis Seafood Notebook
