God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
“We think with our feelings,” Sinclair Ferguson has said. It’s true. We allow our feelings to guide our thinking and we shouldn’t. Emotions are a wonderful gift from God. And our relationship with God should bring to our lives strong godly affections. However, our emotions shouldn’t be vested with final authority. This should be reserved for God’s Word alone.
Sheep are defenseless, liable to stray, pitiful when lost, scattered, stubborn and unintelligent. Clearly, they are desperate for a shepherd. They are dependent on someone to feed protect and lead them to safe green pastures. In the Bible the church leader is called a pastor, a shepherd. The transfer is applicable. It is His charge to “shepherd the flock of God among you (1 Peter 5:2). That means he must feed them on the nutrients of God’s Word, protect them from false teachers (spiritual wolves), warn them about potential dangers, lead them to the fields of holiness and grace and correct them when they stray. Ultimately, Jesus Christ does this through them.

Method: Combine everything except the last three ingredients and
refrigerate overnight. (This is critical -- the marinating transform the
disk.)
Preheat oven to 350. Arrange chicken pieces in single layer in baking
pan(s) and spoon marinade on top. Sprink with brown sugar and pour wine
around.
Bake 50-60 minutes, basting periodically.
Serve chicken, prunes, olives and capers sprinkled with parsley or cilantro
and pass pan juices in a sauceboat. I like this particularly well with
couscous, but rice or just bread will do.
Serving notes: I prefer this the second day. It reheats extremely well
and can also be frozen and reheated. It can also be served cool (as for a
picnic). It is my favorite dish for family gatherings of twenty or more. I
have even persuaded extremely picky children to try this and proclaim it OK
(high praise, as you may know) notwithstanding their aversion to various
ingredients. Grown-ups too.
