God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
You know when I was a teacher I could flunk those who refused to work. When I was a coach I could bench them. When I managed a large aquatic facility I could fire them. I can’t do any of those things to you. You are all volunteers! So what motivation do I have to get you to serve? Very simple, I have the words of God that I presented to you this morning – His command and the great promises of His grace and your reward. If you are not excited about being directly commissioned, gifted and empowered by the King of the Universe to do His will, there is not much more I can do to get you engaged.
To say that election took place before creation indicates that God’s choice was due to His own free decision and love, which were not dependent on temporal circumstances or human merit. The reasons for His election were rooted in the depths of His gracious, sovereign nature. To affirm this is to give to Christians the assurance that God’s purposes for them are of the highest good, and the appropriate response from those who are chosen in Christ from all eternity is to praise Him who has so richly blessed us (P.T. O'Brien).
Recipe by: The Washington Post 10/30/96 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line
two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Plump the dried cherries by soaking them in boiling water to cover for a
couple of minutes. Drain well and toss with cherry brandy. Let the cherries
sit in the brandy for a couple of hours, or even overnight for the best
flavor, then drain before using.
Cream the butter with both sugars. Blend in the egg, vanilla and almond
extracts.
Fold in the salt, baking soda and flour. Fold in the cherries, white and
dark chocolate and, if using, the macadamia nuts. Batter should be soft.
Drop in generous tablespoons onto the baking sheets, leaving space between
dollops of batter.
Bake until lightly browned around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on
racks. (Makes about 2 1/2 dozen).
