We Love God!

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

As far as the apostles were concerned, they were as weak as any other men. They were uneducated, very ordinary men. Yet they are given this privileged position: they will deliver the Word of God through the Son to the world. From God the Father, through the Son, through the Spirit, and through the apostles to the world. In this sense, the apostles are 'foundational' to the church... Theological and ethical instruction from the apostles is universally binding. Indeed, it is 'from God to us.'
Fred Zaspel

No amount of good talking can make a good prayer-meeting. The impression prevails in some quarters that little homilies, pious exhortations, interesting anecdotes with a religious bearing, and well-selected quotations from popular religious writers are of equal value with prayer in a prayer-meeting. This cannot be true. In the former case we are talking among ourselves. It may be very edifying and helpful; but in the latter instance we are doing business directly with God. An ounce of believing prayer is worth a ton of edifying talk, if the Scriptures are good authority. To be sure, no prayer-meeting leader should object to a personal testimony, or to any contribution calculated to edify, but at the same time there is great need, in the average prayer-meeting, of developing the volume of prayer (J.F, Cowan).

2 tb Plus 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 c Chopped fresh dill
2 ts Sugar
1 1/2 ts Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Pour 2 tablespoons lemon juice into large bowl of water. Cut stem
from 1 artichoke; pull off and discard 3 outer bottom layers of
leaves, exposing pale green base. Carefully trim artichoke base and
leaf ends. Cut artichoke in half. Using small spoon, remove choke and
prickly leaves from center. Rub cut edges of artichoke with cut side
of lemon half. Place artichoke in bowl of water and lemon juice.
Repeat trimming of remaining artichokes, placing each in water with
lemon juice.
Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add green onions;
saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add 3 cups water, dill, sugar,
salt and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Bring to simmer. Drain artichokes; add
to Dutch oven. Cover, simmer until artichoke bottoms are tender and
leaves can be pulled off easily, occasionally pushing artichokes
under water, about 30 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer
artichokes to platter; reserve cooking liquid. Test artichokes with
foil to keep warm, if desired.
Place flour in small bowl. Whisk in 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Pour flour
mixture into liquid in Dutch oven; bring to boil, stirring. Cook until
