We Love God!

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

We must not conceal from ourselves that true Christianity brings with it a daily cross in this life, while it offers us a crown of glory in the life to come. The flesh must be daily crucified. The devil must be daily resisted. The world must be daily overcome. There is a warfare to be waged, and a battle to be fought. All this is the inseparable accompaniment of true religion. Heaven is not to be won without it. Never was there a truer word than the old saying, “No cross, no crown!” If we never found this out by experience, our souls are in a poor condition.

J.C. Ryle

There can be no doubt whatever that the Spirit calls no person to do what the Word dictated by him, forbids. The Spirit cannot contradict himself. No human being is entitled to advance a specific call of the Spirit for him individually to do or teach something contrary to or beside the Scriptures previously given to the church… Hence, when a woman preacher professes to have felt this call that the Word distinctly precludes from the work…although we may ascribe her mistake to an amiable zeal, yet we absolutely know she is mistaken; she has confounded a human impulse with the Spirit’s calling.

INSTRUCTIONS

How to Prepare:  Place the barley in a fine sieve and wash under cold
running water  until the water runs clear, about 5 minutes. Drain. In a
heavy  saucepan, combine the barley, onion, bay leaf, chicken stock,
salt  and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and
simmer  for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to stand for 5
minutes  uncovered. Fold in 2 tablespoons of the Basil Pesto and mix
well,  fluffing with a fork.  (Basil Pesto Procedure)  In a blender
combine the garlic, basil, pine nuts, cheeses, and  vitamin C pill (if
using). Blend on high for 1 minute, then slowly  add the oil in a
steady stream so that the mixture binds together.  Add salt and pepper
to taste.  Copyright credit: 1995 by Kevin Graham  Â© 1996 Lifetime
