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

The first mark of a healthy church is expositional preaching. It is not only the first mark; it is far and away the most important of them all, because if you get this one right, all of the others should follow… If you get the priority of the Word established, then you have in place the single most important aspect of the church’s life, and growing health is virtually assured, because God has decided to act by His Spirit through His Word… The congregation’s commitment to the centrality of the Word coming from the front, from the preacher, the one specially gifted by God and called to that ministry, is the most important thing you can look for in a church.

Mark Dever

For if [a Christian] cannot thank and praise God as well in calamities and sufferings as in prosperity and happiness, he is as far from the piety of a Christian as he that only loves them that love him is from the charity of a Christian. For to thank God only for such things as you like is no more a proper act of piety than to believe only what you see is an act of faith. Resignation and thanksgiving to God are only acts of piety when they are acts of faith, trust and confidence in the divine goodness.

Gradually  add salt, vanilla and flour (mixture will be stiff). Stir in
chocolate pieces.  Roll into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie

cookies, and found them very easy. The dough isn't  sticky, so rolling
out the balls isn't a chore. They were a big hit  when I brought them
to the club; they went quickly. The batch made  two cookie-sheets full.
Next time I think I'll double the recipe.]  March 1995, Chaz Bade
