We Love God!

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

In our postmodern times, “tolerance” is valued over truth, and truth, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder and as such must be extended to everyone, except those disagreeable and critical exponents of truth who hold to absolutes, or, to put it into theological language, those who seek to maintain historical orthodoxy. Tragically, many professing evangelicals are embracing in celebratory fashion a distinctively non-doctrinal mentality when it comes to defining their faith… Christians who end up buying into this idea fail to recognize that by doing so they are violating the apostle Paul’s admonition in Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed to this world.” Despite the fact that this kind of neutralism accents diversity, it does so in name only. Conformity is actually what drives it.
Gary Johnson

The problem is that many people cling to the symbol but never understand the reality it is intended to represent. Most likely, tens of thousands of people have 'invited Christ into [their] hearts,' thinking that a mystical experience is what saves them. Then, they go on their merry way, living their lives as they did before. If you were to ask them, 'How do you know that you are going to heaven?' they would respond, 'Because I invited Christ into my heart.' But if you probe, there is nothing beneath the shallowness of that reply. They did what someone told them to do, but never really embraced the Savior.

3" pieces
1/4 t Chinese 5 spice powder
1 T Soy sauce
1 t Rice vinegar
1/2 t Chili paste with garlic
1 T Vegetable oil
1 c Green onions, white and some

1 c Chicken broth
6 oz Roast lamb, up to 8 lean

strips
1/4 c Hoisin sauce
1 T Sesame oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Roast pork may be substituted; if so, omit the five spice powder  In a
small bowl, combine the five-spice powder, soy sauce, vinegar and
chili paste. Stir well to dissolve the powder. Set aside.  In a wok or
deep frying pan with a lid, heat the oil until nearly  smoking. Add the
green onions and toss over medium-high heat for 1  minute. Add the
garlic and tomato and toss for 30 seconds. Add the  reserved seasoning
mixture and the beans. Toss and stir for 1 minute.  Add the broth and
bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer; cover the  wok and cook 20
minutes, or until beans are cooked but still firm.  Add the lamb and
the hoisin. Toss briefly, re-cover the pan and simmer  until lamb is
heated through, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small  bowl, make a
slurry with the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water.  When the lamb
is hot, uncover the pan, add the cornstarch slurry and  stir until
liquid boils and thickens somewhat, about 1 minute. Off  the heat, stir
in sesame oil and serve at once over steamed or boiled  rice.  William
