We Love God!

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

On one hand we have to say that the kingdom has already arrived. Didn’t both Jesus and John the Baptist say, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Mt. 4:17)? If the kingdom represents God’s reign, it has indeed arrived. God told us in Colossians 1:13 that He has already, “Rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son?” I would like to believe that Jesus is reigning on the throne of each heart of each person that has received Him as their Lord. As Christians it’s His will over our self-will. It’s His lordship over our self-governance. It’s ultimate submission to Him as King over our self-reliance. It’s an invisible reign that is manifested in our loyalty to King Jesus. It’s the tiny mustard seed, as Jesus said, that will grow to be a massive plant. The King as a spiritual kingdom. Yet as Jesus reigns in our hearts we desire to see Him reign over the entire world – a physical kingdom. We long for the day when sin is not in, but rather when righteousness prevails. We long for the day when, Philippians 2, “Every knee will bow…and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Phil. 2:10-11).

It is one thing to get a loan, it is quite another to pay it off. With few exceptions, shame on the church that takes 20 years to retire a 20-year loan! Most churches should have a workable plan to retire their debt in 7 years or less. Interest is money the church gives to the world to foster the world’s economy. That money should stay in the Kingdom to finance Kingdom work.

0
(0)
CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Meats, Dairy, Grains Soups 4 Servings

INGREDIENTS

4 T Butter
20 Mushrooms, sliced
1/4 c Sherry
3 c Chicken stock
2 c Heavy cream
3/4 c Sherry
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chicken-Hazelnut Quenelles
2 T Hazelnuts, skins removed
and chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

To roast the hazelnuts you should place them on a sheet pan and put
them in a 400øF oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the outside skin
starts to break away.  Rub the hazelnuts together so that the outer
dark skins flake off. You do not want to toast them, you just want  the
skin to loosen up.  In a large skillet place the butter and heat it on
medium high until  it has melted.  Add the mushrooms and saut them for
4 to 5 minutes,  or until they are brown. Add the 1/4 cup of sherry and
deglaze the  pan. Add the chicken stock.  Cook the ingredients on
medium heat for  12 to 15 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by
1/2.  In a small saucepan place the 3/4 cup of sherry.  Cook it on
medium  high heat for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it is reduced by 3/4.
Add the reduced sherry, salt, and pepper to soup, and stir them in.  In
each of 4 individual serving bowls place 3 of the Chicken-Hazelnut
Quenelles.  Ladle the soup on top. Sprinkle on the hazelnuts.  From
