God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
You and I come to worship hungry! We must not come with hands full of goodies and gifts, thinking that worship is fundamentally where we serve and feed God… Don’t come to God with a cooked goose on a platter, as if God were hungry. Come with open hands and an empty belly and let Him honor Himself by filling you (Psalm 50:10-12). This sentiment was echoed by Paul in his sermon on Mars Hill: The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with human hands; neither is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He himself gives to all life and breath and all things (Acts 17:24-25). Worship is a feast in which God is the host, the cook, the waiter, and the meal itself.
The greatest awakening in the history of the church took place when…(preachers) were bold enough to proclaim the Word of God and saw their task to be presenting the unembellished, undiluted, unvarnished Word of God. That is why they pored over the texts of Scripture, being careful of their exegesis before they entered the pulpit. Because that was the center of their task, they were fearless. Their fearlessness, their boldness, their courage came from the conviction that what they were preaching and teaching was the Word of God.
OPTIONAL
From: January, 1995 Food Guide column by Jerry Anne DiVecchio This is a
great ingredient. Whole seeds can keep their flavor for years, but once in
liquid, they become soft and easy to chew, while retaining their individual
integrty. Makes a great gift! The proportions don't need to be precise.
Substitute ground seeds if you have to. Store in a cool dark place.
USE to flavor the water to cook vegetables like artichokes. Just dump some
seeds generously into the boiling water. Add to vegetable soup purees --
like carrot. Add to braised meats for roasts and stews, like Succulent Lamb
