God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The stakes in the current conflict over sex are more critical, more central, and more essential than in any controversy the church has ever known. This is a momentous statement, but I make it soberly, without exaggeration. Conflict over sex these days is not just challenging tradition, orthodoxy, and respect for authority in areas such as ordination, marriage, and gender roles. And it does not just affect critically important decisions like the sanctity of human life, the authority and trustworthiness of Scripture, the Trinity and the incarnation of Christ. Rather, war over sex among Christians is now raging over absolutely essential matters of faith without which no one can be a Christian in the first place – matters such as sin, salvation, the gospel and the identity of God Himself (Daniel Heimbach).
The difficulty of the commands is merely a reflection of the greatness of the Gospel. Jesus' expectation is built on his anticipation of what God will do in the lives of His people! Jesus demands the humanly impossible precisely because His provisions are supernatural. The magnitude of Jesus' commands must mean, therefore, that they are tied to the grandest promise of all, namely, the promise that God himself will work in every circumstance to conform us to the image of Christ (Rom. 8:28-29).
REHEAT BROILER. Overlap the tomatoes in a large baking dish. Crumble the
cheese over them, add half the marjoram and drizzle oil over the top. Place
the dish a few inches below the heat source and broil until the cheese is
melted and starting to color, about 7 minutes. Remove, drizzle a little
more oil over the top, add the rest of the marjoram, season with pepper and
serve. DEBORAH MADISON - PRODIGY GUEST CHEFS COOKBOOK
