We Love God!

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

All the afflictions of God’s people are designed, under His gracious management – to test, to make manifest, and to exercise, those graces and virtues which He has implanted in them. Though afflictions in themselves are not joyous but grievous, nevertheless they yield the peaceable fruits of righteousness in those who are exercised thereby. Afflictions serve to quicken the spirit of devotion in us; and to rouse us from that formality and indifference which frequently attend a long course of ease and prosperity. We are constrained to seek God with sincerity and fervor, when His chastening hand is upon us, since we then feel our absolute need of that help and deliverance, which He alone can give us.
John Fawcett

No church has a choice about obeying Christ, therefore our church must practice church discipline. But there is also beauty and value in disciplinary action that we may not immediately see. It is beautiful because it is about love. Our discipline toward a professing Christian in sin may be the most loving act he has ever experienced. However uninviting or difficult discipline might be, and however severely we must act, God has made church discipline valuable because it will either produce a holier life or a holier church, or both, when carried out obediently and harmoniously (Jim Elliff and Daryl Wingerd).

Dairy Vegan Low, Fat 1 Servings

INGREDIENTS

4 pk Frozen squash, thrawed (6
Cups)
1/2 c Toasted oat bran
1/2 c Maple syrup
1 c Nonfat dry buttermilk (or
Nonfat dry milk or the vegan
Equivalent)
1 tb Grated fresh orange peel
1 1/2 ts Pumpkin pie seasoning

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix together oat bran, dry milk, orange peel, and seasoning. Wisk in squash
and syrup. Bake at 350 degrees in a large rectangular pan (I use glass) for
about an hour. Serve hot or cold.
Notes: 1. I buy oat bran in bulk. Toast it at 350 degrees on a cookie sheet
with edges. Stir every 10 minutes until light brown. I add the orange peel
at this point and store it in the refrigerator. Do not add the orange peel
before toasting, it burns. Already grated orange peel is available but the
fresh tastes better.
2. I have made this with many different kinds of squash and or sweet
potatoes.  They are all good.  The frozen squash is just the easiest.
3. Original recipe calls for cinnamon, I like the taste with the pumpkin
pie spice but I've used others. I did not like plain clove. from "Lean and
Luscious and Meatless" by Hinman and Snyder.
