God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In 1950, the great Scottish American preacher Peter Marshall stood before the United States Senate and he explained it this way: The modern challenge to motherhood is the eternal challenge – that of being a godly woman. The very phrase sounds strange in our ears. We never hear it now. We hear about every other kind of women – beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career woman, talented women, divorced women, but so seldom do we hear of a godly woman… I believe women come nearer fulfilling their God-given function in the home than anywhere else. It is a much nobler thing to be a good wife than to be Miss America. It is a greater achievement to establish a Christian home than it is to produce a second-rate novel filled with filth. It is a far, far better thing in the realm of morals to be old-fashioned than to be ultramodern. The world has enough women who know how to hold their cocktails, who have lost all their illusions and their faith. The world has enough women who know how to be smart. It needs women who are willing to be simple. The world has enough women who know how to be brilliant. It needs some who will be brave. The world has enough women who are popular. It needs more who are pure. We need women…who would rather be morally right that socially correct
Jesus is the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. In the seen and temporal, He was the lamb slain 2000 years ago. In the unseen and eternal, He has always been the slain Lamb. In the seen and temporal realm, you and I live physically right now. In the unseen and eternal realm, you and I were crucified on the cross with Christ. Our old man, inherited from Adam, dead to and separated from God, died with Him.
Place beans in large saucepan. Add enough water to cover beans by 1 inch.
Bring to boil over high heat. Boil 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; cover
tightly and let stand 1 hour. (Or soak beans overnight in large bowl with
enough cold water to cover by 1 inch.) Drain. Combine beans in 5-quart
Dutch oven or soup kettle with chicken broth, celery, carrots, onions, and
lemon zest. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer,
uncovered, until liquid is just below surface of beans and ingredients are
very tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Using slotted spoon, transfer soup solids in
batches to food processor and puree. Transfer puree to large bowl and add
cooking liquid. (Or puree solids and liquids together in blender. Or force
soup through coarse sieve or pass it through food mill, discarding skins.)
Return soup to Dutch oven. Stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook
over medium heat, stirring constantly, until heated through. Place lemon
quarter in bottom of each bowl. Pour in soup and serve immediately. Makes
about 3 quarts of 10-12 servings.
