God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We praise what we enjoy because the delight is incomplete until it is expressed in praise. If we were not allowed to speak of what we value, and celebrate what we love, and praise what we admire, our joy would not be full. So if God loves us enough to make our joy full, He must not only give us Himself; He must also win from us the praise of our hearts – not because He needs to store up some weakness in Himself or compensate for some deficiency, but because He loves us and seeks the fullness of our joy that can be found only in knowing and praising Him, the most magnificent of all Beings.
The Bible used five main pictures to speak of hell: darkness and separation, fire, “weeping and gnashing of teeth,” punishment, and death and destruction. Only the last fits with annihilationism, and not even every passage in that category fits.
Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the pecans in a food processor along with 2 TBS of sugar and process
until very fine, almost like flour. Transfer the mixture to a medium size
bowl, stir in the flour and salt and set aside.
Cream the butter and =AB cup of the sugar in a large bowl until pale yellow
and light. Add the vanilla and the coffee and mix well. Then gradually add
the flour mixture, stirring just until it is combined. Do not overmix, or
the batter will become oily and too soft.
Place the remaining =AB c sugar in a plate or shallow bowl. Using your
hands, quickly form the dough into pieces the size of a small walnut, and
roll them in the sugar. Lace them =AB inch apart on the prepared baking
sheets, and bake in the center of the oven until they are golden and puffed
12-to 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool. They will
keep in an airtight container for at least 1 week.
