God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Seven Tactics of Temptation: 1. Satan especially likes to tempt us when our faith is fresh, i.e., when the Christian is only recently converted and thus less prepared to know how to resist his seductive suggestions. 2. Satan especially likes to tempt us when our faith feels strongest, i.e., when we think we are invulnerable to sin. If we are convinced that we have it under control, we become less diligent. 3. Satan especially likes to tempt us when we are in an alien environment. 4. Satan also likes to tempt us when our faith is being tested in the fires of affliction. When we are tired, burnt out, persecuted, feeling excluded and ignored, Satan makes his play. His most common tactic is to suggest that God isn’t fair, that he is treating us unjustly, from which platform Satan then launches his seductive appeal that we need no longer obey. 5. Satan especially likes to tempt us immediately following both spiritual highs and spiritual lows. Periods of emotional elation and physical prosperity can sometimes lead to complacency, pride, and a false sense of security. When they do, we’re easy targets for the enemy’s arrows. 6. Perhaps Satan's most effective tactic in tempting us is to put his thoughts into our minds and then blame us for having them. 7. A related tactic of temptation is for him to launch his accusations as if they were from the Holy Spirit. In other words, he couches his terms and chooses his opportunities in such a way that we might easily mistake his voice for that of God.

Beer Cheese (Don’t It Already Sound Good)

January 25, 2023

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Dairy			1	servings

INGREDIENTS

8	oz	Cream cheese
1		Clove of garlic
1	tb	Worchershire sauce
8	oz	Sharp cheddar cheese; (shredded)
1/8	ts	Dry mustard
1/8	ts	Cayenne pepper; (see what I mean)
1/4	c	Beer; (up to 1/2)

INSTRUCTIONS

I went to a family get-together at the in-laws the other night, and I
made a cheese spread/dip to take. I got the recipe from a friend who
makes it when we watch ballgames at their house. The recipe as
originally written is not hot, but good, simple and easy to spice it
up.
Put it all in a blender and blend until creamy and well mixed. Use to
spread on crackers.
I tried mine in a blender and it didn't work too well ( I think mine
is about worn out from grinding all those peppers). Next time I will
try the food processor. I used more pepper and also more beer (for
the cheese and me). I got the cheese too runny, so it was more like a
dip instead of a spread, but still good.
