God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The worst thing that can happen to a Christian is not persecution, physical injury, or death. In many respects, these are the best things that can happen to us. Jesus said that we are blessed when we are “persecuted for righteousness’ sake” (Matthew 5:10). Paul decided to “take pleasure in infirmities…for Christ's sake… For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:10). Jesus said to His followers, “My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do” (Luke 12:4). This makes perfect sense, because for the believer, “to be absent from the body” is “to be present with the Lord.” None of these earthly threats should hold any sway over us whatsoever.
Examples where honesty should be employed by Christians:
1. When completing income tax forms.
2. When selling an automobile.
3. When you are given too much change.
4. When you are told a rumor.
5. When you break something.
6. When you owe people money.
7. When someone calls and you do not want to talk to them.
8. When you are reminiscing and telling a story.
9. When you tell someone how much you paid for something.
10. When you are asked for your opinion or advice.
11. When you fill out a credit application.
12. When you give character references.
This dip substitutes black-eyed peas for traditional chickpeas.
Drain and rinse 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas. In the bowl of a food
processor, mince 1 clove garlic. Add the beans, 1 heaping tablespoon tahini
(sesame paste) and the juice of 1 small lemon. Process until smooth. If
mixture is not creamy enough, add 1 tablespoon of warm water or a little
olive oil until desired consistency is reached.
