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

Let it be remembered then, that jealousy, like anger, is not evil in itself, or it could never be ascribed to God; His jealousy is ever a pure and holy flame. The passion of jealousy possesses an intense force, it fires the whole nature, its coals are juniper, which have a most vehement flame; it resides in the lowest depths of the heart, and takes so firm a hold that it remains most deeply rooted until the exciting cause is removed; it wells up from the inmost recesses of the nature, and like a torrent irresistibly sweeps all before it; it stops at nothing, for it is cruel as the grave (Cant. 8:6), it provokes wrath to the utmost, for it is the rage of a man, therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance (Proverbs 6:34), and it overthrows everything in the pursuit of its enemy, for “wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before jealousy?” For all these reasons jealousy is selected as some faint picture of that tender regard which God has for His own Deity, honor, and supremacy, and the holy indignation which He feels towards those who violate His laws, offend His majesty, or impeach His character.

C.H. Spurgeon

People need to be discomforted and delivered over to distress by indomitable preaching that insists that if they refuse the love of God extended to them in the Lord Jesus Christ, they are going to be physically tormented! … God is so seriously in earnest about this that during the Tribulation, He will warn people through the loud voice of an angel. This angel will tell them that if they worship the beast or his image or receive his mark, they will be “tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb” (Rev. 14:9-10). You are on the wrong side of this issue if you ridicule sincere preaching that warns “with a loud voice” about the dreadful hurt of hell!

This coming Monday (25 April 94) Australia and New Zealand commemorate
their war dead on Anzac Day (Australian & New Zealand Army Corps,
which were among the first soldiers ashore in the battle at Gallipoli
in 1915 during World War I - a 9-month campaign with grievous  losses).
This day has become our most important national day of  remembrance.
Scottish oatmeal biscuits were cooked at home during WWI and sent to
the soldiers fighting overseas.  After the war, these oat-based
biscuits were named Anzac Biscuits when they were made and sold as
fund-raisers for returned soldiers.  Method  Mix oats, flour, sugar and
coconut. Melt syrup and margarine [butter!]  together in a small
saucepan. Mix soda with boiling water and add to  the syrup and
margarine mix. Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.  Place globs
(about 1 T each) of the mix onto greased trays, allowing  room for
spreading while cooking.  Cook for about 30 minutes at 150 degrees
Celsius [about 300 F] Cool  completely on racks before storing any you
might have left :-)  ianst@qdpii.ind.dpi.qld.gov.au (Ian Staples)
