God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Using the perspective of idolatry, addicts are blinded by their own desire. They refuse to see themselves as dependent on God. God’s glory and fame is not their goal. In their self-addiction or selfishness, they worship and bow down before false gods. Addicts have defected from the living God. Instead of worshipping in the temple of the Lord, they perform addictive rituals that give them more perceived power, pleasure, or identity. They see in their addiction a form of magic (Deut. 18:10-14). The promises of the idol, however, are lies. Any identity, power, or peace they bring is false and temporary. There are only two choices: putting your faith in a loving God and thus knowing freedom, or putting your faith in idols (Satan) and being enslaved. Curiously, our selfish pride prefers slavery.
Significantly, spiritual gifts are not the sign of being Spirit-filled. Sanctification is. As believers are sanctified—coming under the Spirit’s control—they are equipped to use their spiritual gifts effectively for the purpose of serving others.
DRESSING
GARNISH
Cut off ends of beets. Wash well & cook in boiling salted water until
tender. Drain & remove skins under running cold water. Dice. Mix together
the dressing ingredients. Combine beets in a salad bowl with the onion,
tomato, garlic cilantro & parsley. Pour over half the dressing, toss
gently & chill for 30 minutes. Slice the potatoes, place in a shallow bowl
& toss with remaining dressing. Chill. When ready to assemble, arrange
beets, tomato & onion in the centre of a shallow bowl & arrange potatoes in
a ring around them. Garnish with olives.
