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

The word literally means, 'self-pleasing.' It refers to a man who obstinately maintains his own opinion or asserts his own rights and does not care about the rights, feelings, and interests of others (Trench, Synonyms, p. 349). The self-willed man often takes the contrary view because he loves to assert himself and wield power over others. He never admits that he was wrong. He is not a team player. If he acts in such self-willed ways in the church or with other elders, you can assume that he runs his family like a drill sergeant. Don't make him an elder!

So the Cross does not merely tell us that God forgives, it tells us that that is God’s way of making forgiveness possible. It is the way in which we understand how God forgives. I will go further: How can God forgive and still remain God? – That is the question. The Cross is the vindication of God. The Cross is the vindication of the character of God. The Cross not only shows the love of God more gloriously than anything else, it shows His righteousness, His justice, His holiness, and all the glory of His eternal attributes. They are all to be seen shining together there. If you do not see them all you have not seen the Cross.

	Lombard	Beverages, Holiday, Peru	4	Quarts

INGREDIENTS

1	lb	4 full cups Maiz de Jora
		purchased or homemade
2		15-oz cakes chancaca <OR>
1	c	White sugar and
2	c	Brown sugar, packed
		+additional for sweetening
8		Whole cloves
1		Dried hot chili pepper
1		Fresh stalk, about 36"
		Sugarcane, 1-1/2 lbs

1		Lemon, sliced for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

In a stainless-steel stockpot large enough to hold 2-1/2 gallons of
liquid, combine the jora, chancaca or sugars, cloves, pepper, and
crushed sugarcane with 8 quarts of cold water. Allow to soak for 1
hour. Place over high heat and bring to boil, stirring now and then
with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent
sticking and burning. When the mixture comes to a full boil, lower  the
heat and gently simmer, covered, for 4-1/2 hours, stirring now  and
then.  Remove from heat and allow to rest for about 2 hours
undisturbed. Pour  through a strainer.  Press liquid from the sugar
cane and discard the  pulp. Strain the mixture again through a double
layer of cheesecloth  into a ceramic, porcelain, or glass container and
store in a dark,  cool place, covered tightly with cheesecloth or a
kitchen towel.  Allow to sit from 3 to 8 days, depending on how strong
and how thick  you want the chicha to be. The longer the chicha sits,
the higher the  alcohol content and the thicker it will get.  To serve,
add the additional sugar to taste, chill thoroughly, and  garnish with
lemon slices.  Source:  Christmas with Memories and Recipes; Felipe
