God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Once you have examined your own heart, here are some questions to ask the other person from the start:
1. How does Jesus Christ occupy first place in your life?
2. What are your views on various biblical doctrines?
3. What does your time in the Word and prayer look like?
4. What do you look for in a good church?
5. Do you regularly attend church and how are you serving?
6. Do you have any accountability in your life?
7. Are you presently able to support yourself financially?
8. How do you enjoy spending your free time?
9. What is your meaning of headship and submission?
10. How do you spend your money?
11. How do you handle conflict?
12. What is your criterion for entertainment (movies, television, etc.)?
13. Do you have any addictions?
14. Do you exercise?
15. Do you have any major health concerns?
Here are some questions to ask as the relationship advances and heads toward marriage:
16. Would you like to have children? When and how many?
17. How do you feel children should be educated and disciplined?
18. Would you like to rent or own a home?
19. How do you see yourself relating to your parents and in-laws?
20. How do you see yourself relating to people of the opposite gender?
21. When and how do you plan to do family devotions?
22. Who will be the primary breadwinner? Should the wife work outside the home?
Paul and Peter listed and described specific “functions” for elders/overseers… God’s people in “every tribe and language and people and nation” (Rev. 5:9) and at any period in history need oversight, teaching, admonishing, and prayer. However, the specific “functions” for the deacons are never spelled out in detail – except the one that is inherent in their title – to “serve” (diakoneo). The generic “function” must be fleshed out in various ways from place to place at different points in time and history…as they assist the elders/overseers in carrying out their shepherding responsibilities.
This one is from The Bread Winners Cookbook by Mel London.
This recipe was given to me by an old friend in Savannah, who told me that
it was a favorite breakfast bread on the plantations.
* The salt, though traditional, may be eliminated if you choose to do so.
Place the melted fats and the rice in a heavy saucepan, covered, over very
low heat. Mix cornmeal and salt and pepper, then stir milk into beaten
eggs and blend in the cornmeal. Blend together with the rice mixture and
put into greased 8- or 9-inch square pan.
Bake at 450 deg.F. until firm when tapped with finger and well browned on
top--about 25 minutes.
Cut into squares to serve.
Makes 1 to 1 1/2 dozen squares.
NOTE: This just looked like an interesting combination... and like
something that would create a little more (or different) texture.. a fun
bread. It almost sounds like it might come out a custardy bread...
