God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In the process of striving to fulfill our needs and satisfy our desires, the church has slipped into a philosophy of “Christian humanism” that is flawed with self-love, self-esteem, self-fulfillment, and self-glory. There appears to be scant concern about worshiping our glorious God on His terms. So-called worship seems little more than some liturgy (high or low) equated with stained-glass windows, organ music, or emotion-filled songs and prayers. If the bulletin didn’t say “Worship Service,” maybe we wouldn’t know what we were supposed to be doing. And that reflects the absence of a worshiping life- of which a Sunday service is to be only a corporate overflow.
Perhaps you don’t drift the way that I do, but I constantly forget the deep hole of depravity from which the Lord’s mighty love rescued me. Drifting does not take any effort at all; just stop cultivating the knowledge of Christ, and the evil current of secularism does the rest. All passion for the lost seems increasingly a fading memory. Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, Paul willing to be cursed for the sake of his countrymen, those things become very remote to the point of being unreal.
In a small bowl, combine the bulgur with 1/2 cup warm water; let stand for
30 min, or until the bulgur is tender and the water is absorbed.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil over low heat. Add onions and sugar;
saute until the onions are tender and dark golden, about 15 min. Stir in
1/4 cup water and vinegar. Season with salt and keep warm.
Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler. In a medium bowl, combine the
bulgur, beef, tomato paste, parsley, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper; mix
thoroughly but lightly. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Grill over
high heat or broil on a lightly oiled rack until browned and cooked
through, about 5 min per side. Blot the patties with paper towels. Place
each patty on a bun, top with the caramelized onions and garnish with
lettuce.
