God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
What is the surest character of true, divine, supernatural love that distinguishes it from counterfeits that arise from a natural self-love? It is the Christian virtue of humility that shines in it. Divine love above all others renounces and abases what we term “self.” Christian love or true love is a humble love… In that person we see a sense of his own smallness, vileness, weakness, and utter insufficiency. We see a lack of self-confidence. We see self-emptiness, self-denial, and poverty of spirit. These are the manifest tokens of the Spirit of God.
Despite its foundational Christian heritage, America is rapidly degenerating into a godless society. The church in America, although highly visible and active, appears powerless to redirect the rushing secular currents. Mired in a moral and spiritual crisis, America’s only hope is a national revival, like God has graciously bestowed in the past.
BEEF MARINADE
COVER THE BLACK BEANS with warm water for 5 minutes. Drain. Rinse
thoroughly to remove salt. Put into a bowl with the garlic and ginger; mash
into a paste and set aside. Slice the beef against the grain into 1/4-inch
thick slices; toss with the beef marinade. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Preheat a wok until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Over high heat, add
beef and stir-fry for a minute or until seared; remove and set aside. While
wok is hot, add remaining oil, salt and reserved black-bean paste; stir-fry
until fragrant, a few seconds. Toss in the onions, stir-fry for 10 seconds,
then add the asparagus in 2-or-3 batches, seconds apart, making certain the
wok is hot before adding the next batch. Toss and stir until asparagus are
coated with the oil. Sprinkle with soy sauce, toss together, then pour in
the stock and bring to a boil. If the asparagus needs more cooking, cover
for a minute. Meanwhile, stir the cornstarch, water, sugar and oyster sauce
into a smooth paste. When the asparagus is tender but still crisp, add the
cornstarch liquid into the center of the wok. Immediately stir until
thickened, about 10 seconds. Return the beef, add a desh of sesame oil;
toss to mix. Serve hot over rice.
