We Love God!

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

We are all worshipers, and whatever we worship we rely upon and serve. For many men, success is the god they worship and serve. For others, it is fame or pleasure. Women often worship beauty or falling in love. Whatever it is, we worship it because we think it will make our lives work. It will secure us against a hostile world, it will give us satisfaction – in short, it will be our Savior. Thus, when an idolater says, “I love you, “what he means is, “You are a means for getting what I want. You are serving my needs and securing my hopes (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

There are basically two ways to read the Bible — as a book of law, or as a book of promise. Our natural religious psychology wants to read the Bible as law: “God is explaining here how I can win his favor.” A law-hermeneutic is the pre-understanding we naturally bring to our Bible reading, every page. But in Galatians 3 Paul explains that he reads the Bible as a book of promise, and he wants us to as well. He sees every page of the Bible as gracious promise from God to undeserving sinners. Is there law in the Bible? Yes. But it was “added” (v. 19). Law was inserted after the promises to Abraham were established. It is promise that comes first (Genesis 12), then law comes later (Exodus 20). It is promise, therefore, that defines the all-encompassing framework within which we are to read everything else in the Bible... Every page [in the Bible], most deeply understood, shines forth as a promise of grace to sinners in Christ.

Cream of Rice Crackers

(0)
CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Dairy Crackers 95 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 c Cream of rice, regular or
Quick cooking
1 c All-purpose flour
1/4 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
4 tb (1/2 stick) butter or
Margarine, softened
2/3 c Milk

INSTRUCTIONS

"If you have a food mill, make your own cream of rice by grinding whole
rice to a medium coarsness. The difference in taste between this and the
commercial cereals is as marked as that between ordinary and freshly ground
coffee.
325~ F      20 to 25 minutes
Preheat the oven to 325~ F.
In a large bowl or in the food processor, combine the cream of rice, flour,
sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Slowly blend in enough of the milk to form a dough that will hold together
in a cohesive ball.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
pastry cloth, roll out to 1/8 inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the dough
into 2-inch shapes.
Place the crackers on an ungreased baking sheet and prick each one all the
way through in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork. Bake for 20 to 25
minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool on a rack. Yield: 85-95.
VARIATIONS: Substituting half-and-half or cream for the milk will result in
a richer cracker.
For a different taste, substitute cream of wheat or cream of rye cereals
for the cream of rice.
