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

The redemption of an eternal soul is one sale that I, in my own strength, cannot accomplish. I need to know that, not so that I won’t preach the Gospel, but so that I won’t allow my presentation of the Gospel to be molded by what I think will finally get a response and close a sale. Instead of using all my powers to convict and change the sinner, while God stands back as a gentleman quietly waiting for the spiritual corpse, His declared spiritual enemy, to invite Him into his heart, I’m going to preach the Gospel like a gentleman, trying to persuade but knowing that I can’t convict and convert and change the sinner. Then we’ll see clearly just who can really call the dead to life.

It should come as no huge surprise that the secular world is confused and off-base about the identity and calling of women. But what I find distressing is the extent to which (this) has taken hold even within the evangelical world. We see the fruit of that revolution as prominent Christian speakers, authors, and leaders promote an agenda, whether subtly or overtly, that encourages women to define and discover their worth in the workplace, in society, or at church, while minimizing (or even at the expense of) their distinctive roles in the home as daughters, sisters, wives, and mothers – as bearers and nurturers of life, caregivers, as those privileged and responsible to shape the heart and character of the next generation. The feminist revolution was supposed to bring women greater fulfillment and freedom. It was supposed to make us feel better about ourselves; after all, “You’ve come a long way, baby!” But we see the poisoned fruit of the revolution in the eyes and pitiable cries of women who are drowning in the quagmire of serial divorce and remarriage and wayward children; women who are utterly exhausted from the demands of trying to juggle one or more jobs, function as single parents and be active in church; women who are disoriented and confused, who lack sense of mission, vision, and purpose for their lives and who are perpetually, pathetically shrouded in woundedness, self-doubt, resentment, and guilt.

INGREDIENTS

		Stephen Ceideburg
3	tb	Minced cilantro root
3	tb	Fish sauce
3	tb	Chinese light soy sauce
2	tb	Fresh lime juice
1	tb	Freshly ground black pepper
1	tb	Minced garlic (3 cloves)
2	lb	Chicken legs or breasts, skin and fat removed

INSTRUCTIONS

A street and market food served everywhere in Thailand, this chicken is
traditionally associated with the Northeast. At the train stations or bus
stop, you can get a few skewers and a little bag of sticky rice for a
delicious snack or light lunch. The marinade dates back to a time before
the introduction of chilies by the Portuguese. Black peppercorns were used
in enormous quantities, and they still have an important role in Thai
cooking.
Combine cilantro root, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, pepper and garlic
in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and pour into a shallow,
non aluminum dish. Add chicken and turn to coat evenly with marinade. Cover
and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours,
turning occasionally.
Preheat the broiler or prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Drain the chicken
and reserve the marinade for basting. Broil or grill the chicken on a
lightly oiled rack approximately 3 inches from the heat for 10 minutes.
Turn the chicken and baste with the reserved marinade. Discard any leftover
marinade. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until the outside is browned
and the inside is no longer pink.
