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

What, then, does submission and respect look like for a woman in a dating relationship? Here are some guidelines: 1. A woman should allow the man to initiate the relationship. This does not mean that she does nothing. She helps! If she thinks there is a good possibility for a relationship, she makes herself accessible to him and helps him to make conversation, putting him at ease and encouraging him as opportunities arise (she does the opposite when she does not have interest in a relationship with a man). A godly woman will not try to manipulate the start of a relationship, but will respond to the interest and approaches of a man in a godly, encouraging way. 2. A godly woman should speak positively and respectfully about her boyfriend, both when with him and when apart. 3. She should give honest attention to his interests and respond to his attention and care by opening up her heart. 4. She should recognize the sexual temptations with which a single man will normally struggle. Knowing this, she will dress attractively but modestly, and will avoid potentially compromising situations. She must resist the temptation to encourage sexual liberties as a way to win his heart. 5. The Christian woman should build up the man with God’s Word and give encouragement to godly leadership. She should allow and seek biblical encouragement from the man she is dating. 6. She should make “helping” and “respecting” the watchwords of her behavior toward a man. She should ask herself, “How can I encourage him, especially in his walk with God?” “How can I provide practical helps that are appropriate to the current place in our relationship?” She should share with him in a way that will enable him to care for her heart, asking, “What can I do or say that will help him to understand who I really am, and how can I participate in the things he cares about?” 7. She must remember that this is a brother in the Lord. She should not be afraid to end an unhealthy relationship, but should seek to do so with charity and grace. Should the relationship not continue forward, the godly woman will ensure that her time with a man will have left him spiritually blessed (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

The glorious good news of the gospel is that the sin-devastated relationship between lost sinners and the holy God can be restored. That at first glance seems impossible. God’s perfect, infinite, righteous justice demands the punishment of all who violate His law. Standing before the bar of His justice are helpless, guilty sinners, unable either to satisfy God or to change their condition. But through God’s plan of reconciliation all the hostility, animosity, and alienation separating the Holy One and sinners vanishes, and those who were once His enemies become His friends. The high calling and noble privilege of preaching this message of reconciliation is the most important duty in the world, since it deals with eternal destinations.

    Indo Ethnic, Main dishes 4 Servings

    INGREDIENTS

    1 3/4 tb Salt
    1/4 ts Szechuan Peppercorns
    lb Duck
    1 cn Beer; any kind, 12-oz

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Preheat over to 400 degrees. Place oven rack at middle level Combine the
salt and peppercorns in a small skillet and toast over low heat for
approximately 5 minutes or until the salt is slightly browned and the
peppercorns faintly smoking. Stir. Cool completely. Rinse and drain the
duck. Discard fat. Rub thorougly inside and out with salt and pepper
mixture. Wrap in foil and refrigerate overnight. Unwrap duck and drain off
liquid. Make a long hook from a coat hanger, etc and insert the sharp end
into the base of the neck. Hang by a window or on a well ventilated porch.
Let duck hang for 6-8 hours or until skin is dry. Line a roasting pan with
foil to reflect heat. Place duck breast side down and pour 1/3 of the beer
over it slowly as you rub it into the skin. Turn duck over and pour and rub
the rest of the beer over the breast, thighs, legs and wings. Roast 1 1/2
hrs at 400 degrees, then 30 minutes at 425 degrees and finally another 30
minutes at 450 degrees.
NOTES : First made this duck in 1979.  This is every bit as good as any
Peking duck I have eaten anywhere in the world. The skin is puffed and
crispy. Serve with Chinese Pancakes spread with Hoisin sauce and a piece of
green onion. PS--makes a terrible mess...but worth it.
