We Love God!

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

We should not want a revival of experience alone without true reformation. And so the term revival is not adequate for our day unless we add the qualifiers “reformational” or “word-driven.” It is not wrong to desire revival if we mean a revival that is a resurgence of correct believing along with the enlivening of our experience with God which comes out of (not apart from) that sound doctrine.

What the Bible Says About Joy: 1. Jesus’ aim in all He taught was the joy of His people (Jn. 15:11). 2. Joy is what God fills us with when we trust in Christ (Rom. 15:13). 3. The kingdom of God is joy (Rom. 14:17). 4. Joy is the fruit of God’s Spirit within us (Gal. 5:22). 5. Joy is the aim of everything the apostles did and wrote (2 Cor. 1:24). 6. Becoming a Christian is finding a joy that makes you willing to forsake everything (Mat. 13:44). 7. Joy is nourished and sustained by the word of God in the Bible (Psm. 19:8). 8. Joy will overtake all sorrow for those who trust Christ (Psm. 126:5; 30:5) 9. God Himself is our joy (Psm. 43:4; 16:11). 10. Joy in God outstrips all earthly joy (Psm. 4:7) 11. If your joy is in God, no one can take your joy from you (Jn. 16:22). 12. God calls all nations and peoples to join in the joy He offers to all who believe. No racism. No ethnocentrism (Psm. 67:4; Psm. 66:1). 13. The whole Christian message from beginning to end is good news of great joy (Lk. 2:10; Isa. 51:11). 14. When we meet Christ at His second coming we will enter into his indestructible joy (Mt. 25:23).

and allow to dry slightly in the oven for 20 minutes. Put the beans
in the work bowl of a food processor along with the butter, chopped
cilantro, shallots and seasonings. Process until smooth. The mixture
should be slightly moist to the touch, but not loose. Add more butter

the flour, shaking off the excess. Heat oil in a deep saute pan and
sear the cakes for 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and

Remove the cakes from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Top
with the shrimp. This recipe yields 2 servings.
