We Love God!

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

Your own disobedience in the past will not ultimately keep your child from becoming a believer. It is pointless to berate yourself for any wrong behavior on your part as if it were the reason your child is without Christ. This does not mean that we as parents should not repent and do better, and even admit wrong to our children. But the reason your child is without Christ is related to his or her own sin. Every parent is sinful and inconsistent. This has never been a barrier to God if He desires to save your child. Illustrations abound of children who come from far less godly families who are nonetheless converted to Christ. In fact, this may have been the case in your own experience.

For an act to be good, it must arise from good motives. And one of those motives must be the glory of God. Where that motive is missing, every act has a fatal flaw. An unsaved man may have some good motives in what he does. That is, he may do something for the sake of others. That is fine, as far as it goes. We do not want to deny that. But it does not go far enough. God commands, “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). But each thing the unbeliever does breaks this command. For that reason, he never once pleases God.

1 c Small fava beans; rinsed
8 c Water
2 md Potatoes; peeled and diced
1/4 c Olive oil
3 md Onions; diced
4 Cloves garlic; crushed
1/4 c Fresh cilantro leaves; finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

A hot vegetarian country-style Arab soup.
Bring the fava beans and water to a boil in a large pot. Cover and
cook over medium heat for an hour and a half, then add the potatoes
and cook for a further 25 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the onions
until they begin to brown. Add the garlic and coriander and stir fry
for 3 minutes. Add the contents of the frying pan with the remaining
ingredients to the fava beans and bring to a boil. Simmer over a
medium heat for 30 minutes. Serve piping hot.
THE FAVA BEANS should be the small Egyptian type about the size of a
pea. They can be found in Middle Eastern stores in the large cities
of North America. Navy beans may be substituted; in fact, though not
traditional, they make an equally delicious soup.
