God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The glorious good news of the gospel is that the sin-devastated relationship between lost sinners and the holy God can be restored. That at first glance seems impossible. God’s perfect, infinite, righteous justice demands the punishment of all who violate His law. Standing before the bar of His justice are helpless, guilty sinners, unable either to satisfy God or to change their condition. But through God’s plan of reconciliation all the hostility, animosity, and alienation separating the Holy One and sinners vanishes, and those who were once His enemies become His friends. The high calling and noble privilege of preaching this message of reconciliation is the most important duty in the world, since it deals with eternal destinations.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a medium saucepan, bring cream to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook
until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in
butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a creamy sauce. Whisk in lemon
juice and garlic. Taste, and season with salt, white pepper and cayenne.
2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the linguine and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes for fresh, 8 to 10
minutes for dried. Drain well. Return to the warm pot.
3. Add the warm sauce, chopped basil and chives. Toss well. Taste the sauce
to check for an authoritative tang. Season with more lemon juice, salt,
white pepper and cayenne as needed.
4. Using a carving fork with two long, straight tines, spear a serving of
pasta onto the bottom tine. Place the pasta-entwined fork over a plate, and
invert the fork, letting the pasta slide off into a neat stack. Repeat with
the remaining pasta. Garnish with the whole basil leaves and serve
immediately.
NOTE: For a variation on the basil, use 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh
tarragon and garnish with whole tarragon sprigs.
