God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The apostles of Jesus Christ were unique – unique in their experience of the Jesus of history, unique in their sight of the risen Lord, unique in their commission by Christ’s authority and unique in their inspiration by Christ’s Spirit. We may not exalt our opinions over theirs or claim that our authority is as great as theirs. For their opinion and authority are Christ’s. If we would bow to His authority, we must therefore bow to theirs. As He Himself said, “He who receives you receives Me” (Mt. 10:40; Jn. 13:20).
But what about love and loyalty when no one else seems to be hurt, such as premarital sexual relationships? Such an argument does not apprehend biblical love. Love is not simply the absence of obvious injury to anyone. For example, critical thoughts don’t victimize, but they are unloving and wrong. Defining love in terms of whether people get hurt misses the heart of biblical teaching. We may not automatically decide what form love takes. God tells us how to love. When we love on our terms rather than His, we are in sin. Even if our sin does not seem to hurt another human being, it is still sin. If sin were reduced to hurting others, then we could become morally perfect by isolating ourselves from all people. Sin, however, is not primarily a human-against-human action. It is human-against-God. God defines love as obedience to Him.
Trim steak and pound, if needed, to 1/2 inch thick; cut into 6 to 8 pieces.
Combine milk, Tabasco sauce and salt in a bowl. Measure 1 cup of flour into
a bowl. Combine remaining flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in
another bowl. Dip steak into flour, into milk mixture, and then into
seasoned flour. Set aside until all meat is coated. Heat 1 or2 inches of
oil in fry pan. Fry meat until both sides are golden brown, about 2 minutes
per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with cream gravy, mashed potatoes
and gravy.
CREAM SAUCE: Pour off all but 6 tbs. of fat from fry pan; add 6 tbs. flour
into pan (use any leftover seasoned flour) and blend well. Gradually stir
in 2 1/2 cups milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Season
with salt and pepper. Cover steaks with gravy when served. Makes 2 cups.
