We Love God!

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

If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I submit that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in the slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

C.S. Lewis

[Jesus Christ’s] victory, of course, does not mean that we rush off to kill all our enemies. It means instead that we are to love them. Our love for them must be strong enough, however, to tell them with both passion and compassion, that their hopes are in vain, that their gods are mute and dumb, and that there is only one name under heaven by which a man must be saved. Our love for them does not present the Christian Gospel as an option. It does not lead us to argue that it’s a good option that has worked well for us. Our love instead commands all men everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel, lest they perish. Our love calls on all our enemies to kiss the Son, lest He be angry and they perish along the way (Ps. 2:12).

Thu, 19 Aug 93 11:19:24 MEZ The Aprocot Balls (Marillenknoedel)  are
one of my favourite dishes. It is very popular in Austria. Since  I am
not used to write recipes in english, there may be some errors  in it.
Please be not upset. Now follows the recipe.  Mix white cheese, butter
(soft, not directly from the refrigerator),  egg yolks and salt. Add
the flour and make a soft mass. Form a roll  with a diameter of about 5
cm. Cut slices of about 1 cm, press flat  on your hand. Put an abricot
(remove the kernel and put in a piece of  sugar) on top of it and form
a ball. Put into a pot of simmering,  slightly salted water. Let simmer
for about 10 minutes.  Put breadcrumbs, sugar and cinnamon into a pan
where you melted the  butter and roast it until it takes a golden
colour (you can also  smell, when it is finshed, but be careful it soon
may be too late).  Roll the balls in the roasted breadcrumbs, put
powdered sugar above  and eat very hot.  REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES
