We Love God!

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

If my thirst for joy and meaning and passion are satisfied by the presence of the promises of Christ, the power of sin is broken. We do not yield to the offer of sandwich meat when we can see the sizzling steak on the grill… At first lust tricks me into feeling that I would really miss out on some great satisfaction if I followed the path of purity. But then I take up the sword of the Spirit and begin to fight… And as I pray for my faith to be satisfied with God’s life and peace, the sword of the Spirit carves the sugar coating off the poison of lust… And by the grace of God, (lust’s) alluring power is broken.
John Piper

Only the Christian gospel presents….a way in which justice and mercy kiss each other… First, Christianity confirms the fact that justice must be satisfied. Sin must be condemned according to its demerit. This means eternal doom. The sinner must be damned because God must be inexorably holy and just. His all-powerful Being must vindicate His all-holy Being. Christianity never compromises the ever-blessed purity and excellency of the divine nature. Second, Christianity alone finds a way to satisfy infinite justice and provide infinite mercy at the same time. What no other religion has dreamed of, Jesus Christ has accomplished. He underwent the infinite wrath of God against sin and lived to bestow His mercy on the damned sinners for whom He died. The infinite Son of God took upon Himself a human nature in which He underwent the full fury of the divine wrath. The omnipotent God satisfied His violated holiness by punishing sin completely in His blessed Son, who “became sin” for His people. The justice of God was vindicated in full in the substitute, His own Son, our Saviour dear. He survived that awful vengeance and rose victor over the grave by the power of His own divinity. Now He offers to every sin-sick and “pleasure” – burdened soul an everlasting mercy. Perfect mercy and perfect justice in the gospel of the crucified.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Dairy Umbrian, Kitchen 1 servings

INGREDIENTS

8 Ripe apricots; halved and stones
; removed
16 Amaretti biscuits
Amaretto liqueur
3 oz Butter
Caster sugar
Cream

INSTRUCTIONS

Smear some butter on the base of the baking tray, then sprinkle a
generous amount of sugar over the butter so that the peach juices
will caramelise in the heat.
In each of the halved apricots place a knob of butter into the hollow
of the removed stone. Repeat this process until you have enough
apricots to cover the base of the tray - hollow side up. Top each of
the halved apricots with an amaretti biscuit and pour a generous
amount of amaretto liqueur over the whole dish - again sprinkling
with a generous amount of sugar.
Place into a medium hot oven. The cooking time will vary between 10-45
minutes, depending on the ripeness of the apricots. When the fruit
starts to collapse, remove from the oven. Place about 5 apricots on a
plate with a large spoonful of cream on one side.
Before serving, pour a generous amount of amaretto over the dish.
