We Love God!

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

I declare I know no state of soul more dangerous than to imagine we are born again and sanctified by the Holy Ghost, because we have picked up a few religious feelings.
J.C. Ryle

The Bible presupposes a love of self, a desire to experience pleasure and avoid pain, as inherent in the human makeup and as the ground of ethical imperatives. For example, loving ourselves is often used as a criterion in Scripture for the love of others (Mt. 19:19; Eph. 5:28). It is an assumed fact that we do love ourselves, and it is not evil to do so if it is done rightly… Thus Christianity, far from denigrating human worth, actually presupposes it in some of its fundamental teachings. Yet something has tragically blighted and twisted love of self into a gross perversion of God’s intent for His creatures. The fall of the human race into sin caused love of self to become mere selfishness. What was lost was a focus outside the self – that is, a love of God that gave it control and benevolence.

Recipe By: Elizabeth Powell
Peel, seed, and cube squash. In a large soup pot, place squash with enough
water to cover. Tie cloves, cinnamon sticks, and allspice berries in a
cheesecloth bag and add bag to pot. Bring to a boil and simmer over low
heat for 40 minutes. Remove spice bag. Drain squash, reserving liquid.
Return cooked squash to pot and mash. (For a smoother soup, squash may be
pureed in blender or food processor before returning to pot.) Stir in
creams and maple syrup. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring often
to prevent sticking. Season with cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired. Thin with
reserved liquid, if necessary. Cook 15 minutes more. Serve hot.
