God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The question then is how can we, as believers, worship God with our financial resources while at the same time rejecting temptations that lead to idolatry and covetousness? The answer is found in giving to the Lord and His purposes. When we give our money to the work of the gospel, we not only demonstrate our heartfelt love for God (2 Cor. 9:7), we also store up for ourselves treasures in heaven (Mt. 6:16-24) (Jonathan Rourke).
In Philippians 3, Paul explained how his “righteous merit” exceeded any on the planet. If anyone could have earned heaven it would have been him. Yet Paul knew we can never earn God’s favor. The only hope we have is the righteousness of Jesus Christ given to us as a gift when we embrace Him by faith. Though the specifics are different, the boasts are the same: I was born in America. I grew up in a devout Christian family. I was baptized. I read my Bible and pray every morning. I faithfully attend church. I serve in the church. I participate in the Lord’s Supper each month. I am blameless in my obedience to the Scriptures. All of these are excellent, but when we use them to earn God’s saving favor, they are but “rubbish.”
Place curry powder in a wide frying pan and stir over medium heat until
slightly darker in color (3-4 minutes). Add apple, yellow onion, lemon
juice, mushrooms, bouillon, and 1 1/2 C. of the apple juice; bring to a
boil.
Rinse chicken and pat dry; add to pan. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until
meat near bone is no longer pink; cut to test (about 30 minutes). Lift
chicken from pan; arrange on a warm platter. Keep warm.
Blend flour and remaining 1/2 C. apple juice. Gradually add to sauce in
pan, stirring; increase heat to high and cook, stirring until sauce is
thickened. Pour over chicken. The sauce also tastes good poured over baked
potato or rice. 305 calories 7g fat Pat Empson 05/24 11:10 am
