God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
First, faith believes God when He says that sexual relations in marriage are good and clean and should be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Second, faith increases the joy of sexual relations in marriage because it frees us from the guilt of the past. Faith believes the promise that Christ died for all our sins, that in Him we might have guilt-free, Christ-exalting sexual relations in marriage. And finally, faith wields the weapon of sexual intercourse against Satan. A married couple gives a severe blow to the head of that ancient serpent when they aim to give as much sexual satisfaction to each other as possible. Is it not a mark of amazing grace that on top of all the pleasure that the sexual side of marriage brings, it also proves to be a fearsome weapon against our ancient foe?... It is not surprising then that Satan’s defeat, Christ’s glory, and our pleasure should come together in this undefiled marriage bed.

INSTRUCTIONS
Grate carrot, being careful not to grate your finger, too! Toss
(that means mix together with a fork) the carrot, raisins, lemon
juice, and sugar. Put in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Add the mayonaise and, if you like, the nuts and coconut. Toss
again to make sure the mayonaise coats all the carrot and serve.
To make it fancy, put each serving on a piece of lettuce.
