God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Masturbation, although not identified by name in the Bible, must be viewed as sinful for at least three reasons. First, masturbation is a perversion of the intent of sex. It’s selfish rather than loving – it’s taking rather than giving. God did not give you your sexual organs so that you could please yourself with them, but rather so that you could bring pleasure to your wife, and so that she can express her love to you by giving you sexual pleasure. Second, masturbation almost always involves sinful lust. Jesus made it absolutely clear that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart (Matt. 5:28). Third, masturbation is an activity that causes Christians who practice it to experience guilt. The Bible is also very clear about the sinfulness of Christians who willingly participate in any activity for which their consciences condemn them (Rom. 14:22-23).
God may define some people as enemies, but He says that we are to treat them as friends. Our duty is to consider how to serve them in such a way that they would be pointed to Jesus and repent from their sins… How can we even begin this impossible process?… Do we realize that we were Christ’s enemies? If we do, then we have no choice but to treat enemies the way God has treated us. Our conscience would rebel if we felt smug in a self-righteous judgment of our enemies.
MARINADE:
SAUCE:
Marinating: With sharp paring knife, scrape chicken meat from thigh; slice
into thin strips across the grain. (Breast meat is not preferred for this
dish, as meat is too dry and spongy.) Combine sherry, soy, cornstarch and
sugar in bowl; massage liquid into meat with your fingers. Marinate for 15
to 30 minutes. Preparation: Wash asparagus; peel tough white outer skin off
ends; slice on diagonal in 2 1/2" sections. Rinse fermented black beans. In
bowl, combine and mash black beans and garlic, brown sugar, black soy sauce
and chicken stock; stir; reserve for 15 minutes. Stir-Frying: Add 2/3 of
oil to hot wok; when oil is very hot, add chicken. Stir-fry for about 3
minutes on high heat - or until chicken begins to shrink and firm up.
Remove chicken to holding bowl. Reheat wok to high, add remaining oil. When
oil is hot, add black bean sauce. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add asparagus; mix
with sauce. Stir sauce with asparagus. When sauce boils, add cooked
chicken; toss to combine. Dribble in a little cornstarch paste if needed;
cornstarch in chicken marinade might be enough. Toss ingredients until very
little liquid remains and is reduced to glaze. Dish is ready when asparagus
brightens. If you still have too much liquid, remove ingredients, continue
to reduce sauce, then return ingredients to coat them with sauce. Serve in
individual portions.
