God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We are so dead, so blind, so perverse, that neither can we feel when we are pricked, see the light when it shines, nor assent to the will of God when it is revealed, except the Spirit of the Lord Jesus quicken that which is dead, remove the darkness from our minds, and bow our stubborn wills to the obedience of the blessed gospel.
Church discipline is a powerful tool in evangelism. People notice when our lives are different, especially when there’s a whole community of people whose lives are different- not people whose lives are perfect, but whose lives are marked by genuinely trying to love God and love one another. When churches are seen as conforming to the world, it makes our evangelistic task all the more difficult. As Nigel Lee of English InterVarsity once said, we become so like the unbelievers they have no questions they want to ask us. May we so live that people are made constructively curious.
Try this the next time you make Sweet Potatoes instead of Potatoes.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
If using raw sweet potatoes, pare and cut into slices 1/2 to 3/4 inch
thick. Place in a saucepan and add 1 cup of water and cook until tender.
If using canned, drain.
Useing 1 Tbls of butter, greas a 9 X 13 X 2-inch baking pan and add the
sweet potatoes and cherries.
Combine the remaining ingredients except the marshmallows in a saucepan and
cook until you have a thin syrup. Pour the syrup over the sweet potatoes
and cherries. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for 30 minutes or until the
syrup is thick. Just before serving top with the marshmallows and return
to the oven to brown.
