We Love God!

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

The theological roots of this concept of “vocation” are found in the biblical doctrine of creation and divine sovereignty. We are by God’s creative decree shaped in His image and thus designed to reflect in all our endeavors the purposeful activity of God Himself. All Christians, therefore, should ideally embrace their “work”, however secular and uneventful it may appear, as a calling of God, a responsibility for which they have been uniquely endowed that is designed in its own way to glorify God. One’s “job” or “career” or “occupation” thus has a meaning beyond mere personal fulfillment. “Ministry” is therefore not what the majority of Christians perform as “a discretionary time activity – something done with the few hours that can be squeezed out of the week’s schedule after working, sleeping, homemaking, neighbouring, washing and doing the chores” (Stevens, The Other Six Days, 132). It is, rather, all of life when discharged in faith.
Sam Storms

When we seek to find our identity, our core value, in the things of this world, we will always feel empty, insufficient, unworthy and insecure on one end or proud, boastful, smug and self-righteous on the other end. Basically, as we see with most people, there is no satisfaction on either side of the equation.

    Dairy Desserts, Lowfat 4 Servings

    INGREDIENTS

    2 c Skim milk
    2 tb Nonfat dry milk powder
    1 1/2 tb Unsweetened cocoa
    2 tb Sugar; or to taste
    2 tb Cornstarch -heaping; mixed with
    3 tb Skim milk; cold
    1/4 ts Pure vanilla extract
    Maraschino cherries; optional

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Combine the skim milk, milk powder, cocoa, and sugar in a 3-quart stainless
steel saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Lower
heat to prevent the mixture from boiling over. Add the cornstarch mixture
gradually while stirring at the same time. When the milk thickens to the
consistency of cake batter, which happens almost immediately, remove and
set aside. (If the milk does not thicken easily, add 1 Tbl. cornstarch
mixed with 2 Tbl. cold milk.) Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture
into a fancy serving dish and allow to cool. Refrigerate for at least 3
hours to enable the pudding to set. When the pudding feels firm (test by
tipping the bowl gently), garnish with cherries or your favorite fat-free
topping. Serve. Each serving provides: Calories 114, Protein 6.4g,
