God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
It is one heart-quieting consideration in all the afflictions that befall us, that God has a special hand in them: “The Almighty hath afflicted me.” Instruments can no more stir till God gives them a commission, than the axe can cut of itself without a hand. Job eyed God in his affliction: therefore, as Augustine observes, he does not say, “The Lord gave, and the devil took away,” but “The Lord hath taken away.”
Many of the pulpiteers of the past fifty years acted as though the first and last object of their calling was the salvation of souls, everything being made to bend to that aim. In consequence, the feeding of the sheep, the maintaining of a Scriptural discipline in the church, and the inculcation of practical piety, was crowded out; and only too often all sorts of worldly devices and fleshly methods were employed under the plea that the end justified the means; and thus the churches were filled with unregenerate members. In reality, such men defeated their own aim. The hard heart must be ploughed and harrowed before it can be receptive to the gospel seed. Doctrinal instruction must be given on the character of God, the requirements of his Law, the nature and heinousness of sin, if a foundation is to be laid for true evangelism. It is useless to preach Christ unto souls until they see and feel their desperate need of him.

In small nonstick pan, brown veggie burgers (a quick spray of Pam gets them
going.) In another, larger nonstick pan saute onion & mushrooms in a
little of the tomato juice from the can of tomatoes. Meanwhile, chop
tomatoes to desired size (or puree if you have a really picky family). When
onion is translucent and mushrooms cooked, pour tomatoes over. Add 1 T
basil, 1 t oregano, 1/4 t chili powder, 1/2 t cinnamon, 1/4 t mint, 1/4 t
rosemary powder (or whatever combination you have, but this is delicious).
Simmer. In the meantime, pour 2 c boiling water over couscous, cover and
let steam (not over heat). Or prepare couscous in whatever way you desire.
When couscous is 5 minutes away from completion, put garden veggie burgers
into tomato mixture spooning some over the top. Sprinkle w/parmesan and let
simmer 5 minutes. Serve over couscous. Serves 2.
