God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
God has not given us one set of leadership principles for marriage relationships, another set for biological family relationships, and yet another for relationships in the larger (church) family. Though each sphere of influence broadens in terms of function and responsibility, the basic leadership principles are the same. A husband is to be a servant-leader to his wife, a father is to be a servant-leader in his family, and elders/overseers are to be servant-leaders in the family of God.
If God has called someone to ministry He will provide the grace to meet the qualifications for it. The biblical criteria for those in church leadership pertain not only to intellectual and theological skills but also to character, with an emphasis on moral and spiritual maturity. Any effort aimed at identifying those called to church leadership and providing encouragement to them must entail appropriate steps at character development [according to 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1].
PASTRY
APPLES
Make pastry using above ingredients, roll thin & cut into 8 strips. *I use
Pillsbury premade pie crusts as a time saver.
Peel & core apples, cut into 8 pieces. Wrap a strip of pastry around each
apple slice. Arrange apple twists in baking pan, leaving space between each
twists. Brush twists w/melted butter. Sprinkle w/mixture of sugar and
cinnamon. Pour water over twists and bake for 25-30 min. at 350 degrees.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
