God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In response to two excuses why people do not evangelize: A Christian who has heard biblical preaching, participated in Bible studies, and has read the Scriptures and Christian literature for any time at all should have at least enough understanding of the basic message of Christianity to share it with someone else. Surely if we have understood the gospel well enough ourselves to be converted, we should know it well enough (even if as yet we know nothing else about the faith) to tell someone else how to be converted… Do we really want to say that we are too busy to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to make disciples of unbelievers (Matthew 28:19-20)? Do we expect that at the Judgment Jesus will excuse us from the single most important responsibility He gave to us because we say, “I didn’t have time”?
One might think that shame would now drive us to our task (of missions). Do the commands of our Lord mean so little to us? Are we indifferent to Him? Or, if not shame, pity on those who have not heard. Are we unconcerned at the cries of the heathen? Can we weep at television drama and sit dry-eyed before the needs of the lost? Such questions shame us, yet I know that shame will not move us as we ought to be moved. We will need a larger motive than our own humiliation to finish the task. Even the spiritual poverty of the pagan will not do it. We must have a grander vision...a new vision of God. And that vision is majestic, glorious.
ESSENCE OF EMERIL SHOW#EE2279
Saute the shallots and garlic in a small nonreactive saucepan, for 1
minute. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add
the crawfish and reseason. Bring back to a boil. Stir in the reduction and
bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, skimming off the fat and
impurities several times for about 10 minutes.. Turn up the heat to high,
skim the remaining impurities from the top of the sauce, cook for 1-2
minutes. Mount in the butter until all is incorporated. Add the green
onions and remove from heat. Place a small amount of the mashed potatoes in
the center of the plate, set the filet right on top and spoon the sauce
over the filet. Garnish with shaved green onions and fresh black pepper.
