God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Salvation is by grace, by grace alone. Nevertheless, divine grace is not exercised at the expense of holiness. It never compromises with sin. It is also true that salvation is a free gift, but an empty hand must receive it and not a hand which still tightly grasps the world. Something more than believing is necessary to salvation. A heart that is steeled in rebellion against God cannot savingly believe. It must first be broken. Only those who are spiritually blind would declare that Christ will save any who despise His authority and refuse His yoke. Those preachers who tell sinners that they may be saved without forsaking their idols, without repenting, without surrendering to the lordship of Christ are as erroneous and dangerous as others who insist that salvation is by works and that heaven must be earned by our own efforts.
We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each artichoke bottom into 8 equal pie
shaped wedges. Cut each bacon slice into fourths. Wrap a piece of bacon
around each artichoke wedge and secure with a toothpick. Place on a cookie
sheet and bake for 20-30 mins or until the bacon is crisp. Drain
thoroughly. Combine the mustard and the cream and serve as a dipping sauce.
