God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
God never pursues His glory at the expense of the good of His people, nor does He ever seek our good at the expense of His glory. He has designed His eternal purpose so that His glory and our good are inextricably bound together. What comfort and encouragement this should be to us. If we are going to learn to trust God in adversity, we must believe that just as certainly as God will allow nothing to subvert His glory, so He will allow nothing to spoil the good He is working out in us and for us.
I'm planning to be civil toward any of my neighbors who may be heading for the local mosque. But in no way will I accept the charge that to tell them of the truth of the gospel of Jesus is to jeopardize the 'pluralism' that has made America a great springboard of freedom for so many generations. And no way either will I concede the right – a right that has now become a duty – to tell them that the error of their thinking is profound. I will do that not because I hate them, but because I love them.
Drain soaked chickpeas and cook, covered, in water to cover until tender,
about 2 hours or a little longer. Plunge them into cold water, then rub
them between fingers to remove the skins. For the vinaigrette, whisk olive
oil with garlic, jalapeno, herbs, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour over the salad and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning with
salt and vinegar, let stand 30 minutes or longer. Add cilantro leaves as
garnish. Serve at room temperature.
