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

The mere mention of the word carries a huge weight of sorrow and loss and tragedy and disappointment and anger and regret and guilt. Few things are more painful than divorce. It cuts to the depths of personhood unlike any other relational gash. It is emotionally more heart-wrenching than the death of a spouse. Death is usually a clean pain. Divorce is usually unclean pain. In other words, the enormous loss of a spouse in death is compounded in divorce by the ugliness of sin and the moral outrage at being so wronged.
John Piper

[Wrongly regarding church involvement]: Christians can think it’s fine to attend a church indefinitely without joining; Christians think of getting baptized apart from joining; Christians take the Lord’s Supper without joining; Christians view the Lord’s Supper as their own private, mystical experience for Christians and not as an activity for church members who are incorporated into body life together; Christians don’t integrate their Monday-to-Saturday lives with the lives of other saints; Christians assume they can make a perpetual habit of being absent from the church’s gathering a few Sundays a month or more; Christians make major life decisions (moving, accepting a promotion, choosing a spouse, etc.) without considering the effects of those decisions on the family of relationships in the church or without consulting the wisdom of the church’s pastors and other members; Christians buy homes or rent apartments with scant regard for how factors such as distance and cost will affect their abilities to serve their church; Christians don’t realize that they are partly responsible for both the spiritual welfare and the physical livelihood of the other members of their church, even members they have not met. When one mourns, one mourns by himself. When one rejoices, one rejoices by herself.

INGREDIENTS

Cider vinegar
3 Chiles (up to 10)
5 Black peppercorns
1 Garlic clove; peeled and lightly crushed
1/2 ts Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring the vinegar to a boil in a covered nonreactive saucepan. Leave the
chiles whole but trim off their stems and slash them deeply in several
places. Pour the vinegar over the chiles and the rest of the ingredients
and let stand for a week or so. The pickled chiles keep indefinitely in the
vinegar and can be chopped for table relish after the week.
This can be sprinkled over grilled meats, tacos or even salads.
