God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
One does not have to remove all consequences for sin (i.e., to pardon) in order to forgive. It may be just and necessary for an offender to suffer consequences for wrong, but the motive of the one imposing or requiring the consequences cannot be malicious. We are not permitted to desire the ultimate harm of the offender. The gospel always provides hope, always seeks restoration. Even when the criminal is sentenced, and we properly rejoice to see justice done, the Christian also desires to see the offender recognize the sin, repent, and know spiritual restoration. Forgiveness does not require pardon from consequences; it requires an absence of malice (i.e., no desire for the person’s spiritual harm) even in the application of those consequences. We may well desire justice, but desires for personal revenge or spiritual damage are not our right as Christians.

INSTRUCTIONS
Marinade:
The night before you plan on slow cooking your dinner, mix together the
marinade ingredients in a large, closable container large enough to also
hold the chicken pieces. When marinade is thoroughly mixed, add the
chicken, close container and refrigerate until morning.
In the morning place the chicken in the slow cooker and add marinade up to
about an inch from the top of the container. Set the cooker on low and
cover.
6 to 8 hours later, turn the cooker to high. About an hour later, saute
the sliced mushrooms in the margarine or butter. Then add the mushrooms
(with pan juices), mandarin sections, green pepper and ginger into the slow
cooker and stir thoroughly. Mix together the cornstarch, milk and cold
water, then gradually add into the slow cooker while stirring until the
entire mixture thickens a bit.
Re-cover the slow cooker and let simmer for 15 to 30 minutes until serving.
Serve with baby carrots and small new potatoes.
