God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
When their feelings have been hurt, people often feel justified in doing anything they want in retaliation. They can leave the church, divide the body, explode with uncontrolled anger, cut people off, lie, hate, and backbite. They try to justify the most wicked, sinful behavior with the simple excuse, “But I’ve been hurt!” Scripture, however, prohibits the spirit of retaliation, the get-even mentality that plagues human nature, with the clear command: “Repay no one evil for evil” (Rom. 12:17; 1 Thes. 5:15; 1 Pet. 3:9). When insulted, we are not to return the insult; when attacked, we are not to retaliate; when criticized, we are not to slander; when hurt, we are not to strike back. The Scripture further forbids seeking personal, private revenge or taking justice into our own hands; “Never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord’” (Rom. 12:19). It is God’s prerogative to punish evil, and He will see to it…. Rather than seeking retribution, Christians are to “overcome evil with good” (Rom. 12:21).

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In large bowl of electric mixer, beat
eggs, oil, and vanilla until well combined.

fluted or plain tube pan.

minutes, or 40 to 50 minutes if using a tube pan). Cool 30 minutes in pan
on rack before cutting.
* Timesaver Tip: Batter can be made ahead and frozen before baking. Line a
9- by 13-inch pan with heavy-duty foil and add batter. Freeze, uncovered,
until frozen solid. Remove from pan; wrap tightly. For tube pan, spoon

foil, and freeze. Label and date package. Freeze at 0 degrees F up to 4
weeks. To bake, peel off foil; put batter in greased pan. Bake in preheated
