God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The “put on” response to swearing is gratitude. Notice the end of Ephesians 5:4. Paul says that gratitude should punctuate your speech, not swearing. This contrast is striking. It is not simply replacing one set of words with another set of words. God wants your grateful heart. He wants your faithful, trusting heart. He wants your submissive, humble heart. When He has these things from you, swearing will not be an issue. If your talk acknowledges that God has sovereign control over your life, and that He is working all things together for your good, you will express your gratitude, not your frustration or rebellion.
Trying to be holy from a self-strength, carried on by ways of self-invention, unto the end of a self-righteousness, is the soul and substance of all false religion in the world.
Rich, this is an old favorite of mine, from my great-grandmother. Thought
everyone would enjoy it. I love them, and so does the rest of my family.
They were always part of Christmas baking for us.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine shortening, oats, flour, sugar,
raisins, milk, cinnamon, soda and salt. It should stick together when you
squeeze a small amount in your hand. Drop small amounts on sheet. Bake 10
minutes.
Hope you try them, they are the best I've ever tasted, though I'm probably
biased.
