We Love God!

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

We see the word “grace” used in 2 Corinthians 8:4. Paul says, “Begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints.” NASB uses “favor.” NIV uses “privilege.” Both are the English translations for the Greek word “charis,” “grace.” Giving to God’s work is often seen as a burden, a reluctant action that will now make us go without something we want to do a whole lot more with that money – not only a horrible thought, but also an unbiblical perspective. It may shock us, but the Bible describes giving as a blessing, a privilege for many reasons. We are blessed when we give. Didn’t Jesus Himself say, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Ac. 20:28). Don’t we read in 2 Corinthians 9:6 that “he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully?” You want bountiful blessings from God? Then you must sow bountifully! How about the long-term blessing too – the spiritual rewards forever in heaven that Jesus promised. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal” (Mt. 6:19-20).

The agonies of Christ were more than the sufferings of all the martyrs, and all men in the world, since God laid upon him the sins of the whole world.

Mix all ingredients except oil and powdered sugar. Knead and let rise until
doubled. Punch down. Roll into rectangle. Cut dough into into 2 inch wide
strips at a diagonal. Cut again diagonally to form diamonds.  Place on
ungreased baking sheets, 2 in apart. Cover loosely with plastic wrap.
Gather up scraps and let rest 15 minutes. Roll and cut as before. Let rise
until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes. In a large saucepan, heat 3 inches
of oil to 365 or until a 1 in cube of bread browns in 60 seconds. Carefully
slide beignets into hot oil 3-4 at a time. Do not crowd. Fry until puffy
and golden brown on both sides, turning once with tongs. Should be about
2-3 minutes per side. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Sift powdered sugar over hot beignets and serve hot. Makes 36.
