God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
It is for us, in whom the Christian Church is at this moment partially embodied, to declare that Christianity, that the Christian faith can do that for the world which the world needs. You say, “What can I do?” You can furnish one Christian life. You can furnish a life so faithful to every duty, so ready for every service, so determined not to commit every sin, that the great Christian Church shall be the stronger for your living in it, and the problem of the world be answered, and a certain great peace come into this poor, perplexed phase of our humanity as it sees that new revelation of what Christianity is.
The most damnable and pernicious heresy that has ever plagued the mind of man was the idea that somehow he could make himself good enough to deserve to live with an all-holy God.
1. Combine rice with 1 1/3 cups water in medium saucepan. Bring to boil,
reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 45
minutes.

of water to boil. Add asparagus and cook until tender-crisp, 2 minutes.
Drain and rinse under cold water. Cut into 1-inch pieces, reserving 1/4
cup tips for garnish. Set asparagus aside.
3. Coat bottom of large pot or Dutch oven with vegetable cooking spray. Add
celery, onion, carrot, and thyme; cover and cook, stirring occasionally,

4. Transfer to blender in small batches and carefully blend until smooth.
Return soup to pot. Stir in asparagus, green onions, parsley, soy sauce,
pepper sauce, and pepper to taste; return to simmer. Ladle into bowls and
