God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Counseling Principles:
1. When seeking to bring about change, never attempt to do so in the abstract; people change only in concrete ways.
2. Always give hope. People will not persevere during the often-difficult process of change without hope.
3. Never minimize the severity of problems; instead always maximize Christ and His power to solve problems.
4. If a person has a life-dominating problem, aim at total restructuring.
5. Always approach the seemingly hopeless situations with emphatic disagreement. Empathy alone removes all possibility of help. Disagree when the counselee says, “It’s hopeless.” Say, “It is difficult, but not too difficult for God.”
6. Don’t become orientated toward people’s problems, but toward God’s solutions.
7. Gauge how much change is now feasible; too little is boring, too much is discouraging.
8. Don’t let people settle for less than the scriptural solution.
9. Use biblical, or biblically derived, language when analyzing and labeling problems, and when planning solutions to them.
10. Be command-oriented rather than feeling-oriented.
Seeking mortification of sin just to quiet the soul and find relief from the torment of the conscience, all the while neglecting to deal with the root cause of sin, is a result of self-love. Men are diverted from coming to God this way. This is of the most common deception in which men ruin their souls. They seek to apply themselves to victory over the troubling sin but do not allow their conviction to lead them to the gospel. They perish in their 'reformation'.
Combine chilies and 1 1/2 cups chicken stock in a medium saucepan over high
heat. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring
twice, or until chilies are soft. Cool slightly. Pour into a blender. Add
tortillas and puree until smooth. Chili mixture should be quite thick, with
just enough liquid to puree. You may need to add a bit of additional stock.
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When oil smokes, add
beef cubes and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until just
brown. Remove meat with a slotted spoon and set aside.
While oil is still hot, stir in onion and cook for 5 minutes or until well
browned. When brown, add garlic and cumin and cook for 1 minute. Add chili
puree and fry for about 7 minutes or until thick and very dark, stirring
often to keep from scorching.
When thick, add meat, beer, and 4 cups chicken stock, stirring well. Lower
heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour or until very thick and reduced by
half. Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon and cilantro bundle. Let
stand, without stirring, for 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon and cilantro and
stir in lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
