God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The excessive preeminence given to the Holy Spirit in their devotions and their preoccupation with gifts, ecstasies, and “prophecies” has tended to neglect of the Scriptures. Why be tied to a Book out of the past when one can communicate every day with the living God? But this is exactly the danger point. Apart from the constant control of the written revelation, we soon find ourselves engulfed in subjectivity; and the believer, even if he has the best intentions, can sink rapidly into deviations, illuminism or exaltation. Let each remind himself of the prohibition of taking anything away from Scripture or adding anything to it (Deut. 4:2; Rev. 22:18–19). Almost every heresy and sect has originated in a supposed revelation or a new experience on the part of its founder, something outside the strictly biblical framework.
It is...tempting to appoint someone who is theologically brilliant and agrees with the doctrinal position of the church. But we need to remember that Paul especially stresses character qualifications for elders (1 Tim. 3:1-7; Tit. 1:5-9). We need elders who are theologically faithful and who live out the gospel in their everyday lives. We must not sacrifice the latter simply because the former is present, for the words of elders must accord with a godly life.
Mix flour, buttermilk and shortening. Roll out on floured board. Knead a
few times as in making biscuits. Roll out again to a size 1/2-inch smaller
on each side than the pan you plan to bake it in. Place dough in the pan.
Sprinkle with the sugar; dot with butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon and
nutmeg. Pour whole milk over roll to 1-inch of top of roll. Bake for 1 hour
at 375 degrees. Serve warm. NOTE: I sometimes reserve some of the spices
and butter and sprinkle over roll after cooking and dot it with butter.

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
