God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Significantly, spiritual gifts are not the sign of being Spirit-filled. Sanctification is. As believers are sanctified—coming under the Spirit’s control—they are equipped to use their spiritual gifts effectively for the purpose of serving others.
Today, the pressure to fill auditoriums and services has driven many pastors to place the felt needs, or tastes, of the people above their duty to Christ. On every hand we hear of the Gospel being molded into a non-confrontative message intended to meet felt needs and impress the sinful heart. And, by most standards, this new philosophy of church life is working, as more and more auditoriums are filled with people hungry for a message that will affirm that they are actually on fairly good terms with the Almighty. But the biblical message is the message of the cross. It cuts right across the grain of the modern age's preoccupation with pride, tearing down the façade and exposing the wretchedness of the human heart… Unfortunately, while the modern “un-gospel” may fill seats, it is the true gospel of sin and grace that is “the power of God unto salvation” (Rom. 1:16).
PART ONE
PART TWO
Bake squash at 350 degrees F until soft. Peel, seed, puree, and measure out
1 1/2 cup.
Whisk all of the Part One ingredients together until the sugar dissolves.
Pour into an unbaked, 10-inch pie shell that has been brushed with egg
white. Bake at 375 F for 25 minutes.
While that's baking, make the second part of the filling. Whisk all the
Part Two ingredients (except the pecans) together.
When the butternut filling is set, sprinkle evenly with pecan pieces.
Gently pour the second filling over the nuts.
Return pie to the oven, and bake at 325 F for 40 to 45 minutes, or until
just set. Cool to room temperature and serve with lightly sweetened whipped
cream.

A Message from our Provider:
“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
