We Love God!

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

The root that nourishes fruitful hearing is the root of faith. Hearing begets faith and faith begets better hearing. Trusting in the truth you already have is the best way to prepare yourself to receive more. So when you pray and meditate and turn off the TV, consciously fix your heart on the promises of God and trust him Saturday night and Sunday morning.
John Piper

Some would suggest that Jesus was “seeker sensitive” in that He worked His miracles in order to attract large crowds to which He could share the gospel. But in several passages it is plain this is not His motive: Mark 5:43; 7:36; 8:26, 30; and Luke 4:9-12 (and these are by no means exhaustive). Clearly, Christ did not intend these miraculous works for public exploitation. There is little to indicate Christ worked miracles in order to draw a crowd. He was opposed to selling the gospel by appealing to their love for the sensational. (See Jn. 2:23-25)… He sharply rebuked the five thousand for seeking Him for merely physical satisfaction. Jesus did not teach us to draw people to Him by appealing to their senses. Instead He claimed full responsibility for drawing all to Himself by way of the cross (Jn. 12:32); therefore, exalting Christ, "and Him crucified," is to be the primary object in worship, as well as evangelism. (See Rev. 5:8.)

INSTRUCTIONS

This is the Apple Cream Cheese Coffee Cake recipe that I promised to
repost for you. I won the Grand Prize for this in November in the
Vermont Apple Bake-Off. Hope you like it. In a large bowl, combine
flour and sugar; cut in butter using a pastry blender until mixture
resembles coarse crumbs. Remove 1 cup for topping. To the remaining
crumb mixture, add baking powder, soda, salt, sour cream, egg and
vanilla; blend well. Spread batter over the bottom and 2" up the side
of a greased and floured 9" springform pan (batter should be 1/4"
thick on sides). For filling #1, in a small bowl, combine cream
cheese, sugar, lemon juice and egg; blend well and pour over the
batter in the pan. To make apple filling, mix all apple ingredients
together and carefully spoon over the cream cheese filling. In a  small
bowl, combine reserved crumb mixture with the nuts and sprinkle  over
the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until cream  cheese
filling is set and crust is a deep golden brown. Cool 15  minutes then
remove sides of pan. Cool completely and then drizzle  with maple glaze
if desired. For maple glaze, mix all ingredients  together.  Linda in
