God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Sin in the life of the church grieves the person of the Holy Spirit and quenches His power. If sin remains unchecked by the loving application of church discipline in a body of believers, the Holy Spirit must abandon such a church to its own carnal resources. The unavoidable result will be the loss of the Lord’s blessing until the sin is dealt with. The defeat of Israel because of the sin of Achan in Joshua 7 illustrates the principle.
I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them.
Combine onion, celery, carrots, rice, parsley, pepper, thyme, bay leaf and
chicken broth in Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; stir once or twice. Simmer
uncovered 20 minutes. Add chicken cubes; simmer uncovered 5 to 10 minutes
or until chicken is cooked . Remove bay leaf. Stir in lime juice just
before serving.
