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

Why do any of us get upset or tense when confronted? Why do any of us activate our inner lawyer and rise to our own defense? Why do any of us turn the tables and remind the other person that we are not the only sinner in the room? Why do we argue about the facts or dispute the other person’s interpretation. We do all of these things because we are convinced in our hearts that we are more righteous that how than we are being portrayed in the moment of confrontation. Proud people don’t welcome loving warning, rebuke, confrontation, question, criticism, or accountability, because they don’t feel the need for it. And when they do fail, they are very good at erecting plausible reasons for what they said or did, given the stress of the situation or relationship in which it was done.

Paul David Tripp

"Fornication" is unequivocally stated to be the only legitimate ground for which a man may put away his wife. The word used here is the more generic term for sexual uncleanness, namely fornication (porneia). This term may be used of all kinds of illicit sexual intercourse and may apply to such on the part of unmarried personas, in whose case the sin would not be in the specific sense of adultery. But though it is the generic word that is used here (cf. also Matt. 19:9), it is not to be supposed that the sense is perplexed thereby. What Jesus sets in the forefront is the sin of illicit sexual intercourse. It is, of course, implied that such on the part of a married woman is not only fornication but also adultery in the specific sense, for the simple reason that it constitutes sexual infidelity to her spouse. And this is the only case in which, according to Christ's unambiguous assertion, a man may dismiss his wife without being involved in the sin which Jesus proceeds to characterize as making his wife to be an adulteress.

GMT CRUST: Heat oven to 350. Grease  10" springform pan and line with
greased parchment. Line a cookie  sheet with greased parchment. Whisk
together eggs and vanilla. Remove  as much skin from the hazelnuts as
you can and process them with one  cup of the powdered sugar for 30
seconds. Add both sugars and process  briefly to combine. With
processer running, pour in egg mixture and  process for 15 seconds or
until smooth. Reserve 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the  batter.  Pour remaining
batter into the springform pan and smooth  with spatula. Pour reserved
batter onto the cookie sheet and spread  out into a 7-8" disk. Bake
crust 25-30 minutes; disk 20-25 minutes.  Cool on a wire rack. Chop up
the disk into 1/8" pieces and soak in  1/4 cup amaretto (not for more
than 15 minutes).  FILLING: Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup amaretto, let
stand 5 min.  Heat in sauce pan with hot (not boiling) water stirring
for 4 min.  Leave in hot water to stay warm. Beat cream cheese with
mixer for 1  minute. Add lemon juice and zest. Beat cream to soft
peaks. Fold 1/3  cream into cream cheese. Fold in remaining whipped
cream and soaked  macaroon bits. Pour into prepared pan, cover with
plastic wrap.  Refrigerate at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
