We Love God!

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

As C.S. Lewis once said, “Whatever is not eternal is eternally out of date.” It is simple logic. Why not invest myself it that which will last forever and matter most in this life? Do I have the faith to believe that? Do I have a deep satisfaction for all that God promised me in Christ Jesus, beginning now? If so, I will value that which is really valuable. And in order for that to happen, I need the Lord to continually help me to keep my gaze in the right place because the things of this world oftentimes seem so right and attractive, don’t they? It’s so easy to worship the creation over the Creator, isn’t it? But God has designed it where ultimate fulfillment is only to be found in the eternal realm. So if we choose not to go that route we are programmed for failure.

This is what sin is all about. Sin is all about promising us satisfaction, but it never keeps its promises. It can’t, because we weren’t made to satisfy ourselves. No, all sin does is blind us to the truth… We were made to find our satisfaction in a loving relationship with God, but sin convinces us to spend our lives in a self-loving relationship with ourselves. The tragedy is that in the end it doesn’t even work. Sin leaves us bitter, empty, and filled with regret. Worst of all, it leaves us outside the love of God, the one thing that could have satisfied us. It leaves us exposed to His righteous anger that was provoked by our decision to love anything and everything except Him, the one and only who was worthy of our love.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease and flour 2 (9-inch) cake pans. In a large mixing bowl
with an electric mixer, cream the brown sugar and butter. With the
mixer running, add the oil in a steady stream. Add the egg yolks, one
at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift the flour, baking
soda, baking powder, spices and salt into a medium-size mixing bowl.
Alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the batter,
mixing well. With the electric mixer, in another large mixing bowl,
beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the
