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

The man who studies theology, and especially he who studies dogmatics, might watch carefully whether he increasingly does not think in the third rather than the second person. You know what I mean by that. This transition from one to the other level of thought, from a personal relationship with God to a merely technical reference, usually is exactly synchronized with the moment that I no longer can read the word of Holy Scripture as a word to me, but only as the object of exegetical endeavors. This is the first step toward the worst and most widespread ministers’ disease. For the minister frequently can hardly expound a text as a letter which has been written to him, but he reads the text under the impulse of the question, How would it be used in a sermon?
Helmut Thielicke

Without previous thinking, planning, imagining...the apostles will receive directly from God just what to utter. It will come into their minds just as it is needed, and thus they will utter it aloud. The apostles, indeed, make utterance, and yet they do not, for their act is due to the Holy Spirit, so that most properly He is the one who does this uttering. Everything that is mechanical, magical, unpsychological is shut out. The apostles will not be like the demoniacs – their organs of speech and their very wills being violated by a demon. Absolutely the contrary: mind, heart, will operate freely, consciously, in joyful, trustful dependence on the Spirit’s giving, who enables them to find just what to say and how to say it down to the last word, with no mistake or even a wrong word due to faulty memory or disturbed emotions occurring. This, of course, is Inspiration, Verbal Inspiration.

INSTRUCTIONS

VINAIGRETTE
MARINADE
In a small glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together the shallots, thyme,
chile, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Drizzle the oil over in a thin
stream, whisking all the time, until the mixture is emulsified. Set aside,
covered and refrigerated, for up to 4 hours. Trim off any excess fat from
the chops and place them in a shallow ceramic or glass roasting dish that
will hold them all in one layer. In a nonreactive bowl, whisk together the
lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, chile, and 1 tablespoon of the olive
oil. Pour the marinade over the chops, coating both sides, cover and
marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 and up to 3 hours. Bring the
chops to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking, and shake dry. In
a large castiron skillet, or in 2 skillets if necessary, heat the remaining
tablespoon oil over mediumhigh heat and cook the chops for 5 to 7 minutes
on each side (the chops could also be broiled or grilled). Serve
immediately, garnished with thyme vinaigrette. Yield: 6 servings Copyright,
