God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Let’s never be intimidated or depressed by our ordinariness and inadequacy and unimpressiveness. Most of us are quite ordinary. All of us can improve our preaching, and we will. But the sacred given is the message of the cross, which the Holy Spirit empowers in men of the cross. Let’s not disempower it. Let’s trust God’s strategy. God Himself entered into His own strategy through an egoless nobody named Jesus Christ, whom this brilliant world crucified. That Christ is sending us out to preach His message by His power. We are fully equipped in every essential with the testimony of God, the message of Christ crucified, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Will you decide to stake your whole ministry there?
God is sovereign, but parents are responsible. God’s sovereignty is our hope. Parents are utterly dependent on God. He can save any child, no matter how dark the circumstances. On the other hand, God normally reaches children through their parents. It is fatal to presume on God’s sovereignty by neglecting parental faithfulness. Yet it is also a mistake to assume that it all depends on us. It doesn’t. In fact, none of your efforts will prevail unless God bestows the gift of faith on your children. We are utterly dependent and responsible at the same time.
Soak beans overnight and parboil until the skins break when you blow on a
spoonful. Put bean in a bean pot and por in a mixture of the remaining
ingredients. Place the salt pork on top. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees
until the salt pork browns (about 1/2 hour). Turn oven down to 325 degrees
and bake uncovered for 6 - 8 hours. Check the beans every hour or so and
add boiling water when the beans look dry on top.
