We Love God!

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

There's no gridlock with God…no stalemate…no tie game. If a husband and wife have talked things out, but cannot come to agreement on a matter, the Bible teaches that the husband's authority prevails. By divine design God has entrusted to the husband leadership and authority with which to wisely and lovingly rule the household. The husband is not guaranteed the smartest decisions-but God does expect him to exercise leadership in the home and to have the power to veto (break up an impasse with his vote). However, this does not give him the right to be arrogant and to flaunt his authority, or to run roughshod over other family members' feelings. He has no right to refuse to listen to his wife, to withdraw from confrontational discussions, to act in anger, or to act in a non-understanding way (1 Peter 3:7). He has no right to exasperate his children or anyone else in the family. He must love his wife even as Christ loves the church and gave Himself up for it. Because of the Biblical doctrine of ';male headship,' I place (and I believe God places) the brunt of the responsibility for family growth, happiness, and harmony, upon the husband. Since he is the one entrusted with leadership, he is the one chiefly responsible for leading the family towards the goal of Christlikeness (Peter Wise).

Here’s our own list that emerged in our childrearing years: 1. Don’t be a tattletale. 2. If you receive a gift you don’t like, do your best not to show disappointment. And say something nice like “Thank you for remembering my birthday.” 3. Don’t gossip. If you do, you won’t be a trustworthy friend, and you will displease God (Prov. 11:11-12; 18:13). 4. Don’t whisper secrets in front of other people. The person left out will get hurt feelings. 5. Cheerfully greet the members of your family in the morning. 6. Always answer when you’re spoken to- and do so respectfully. 7. When you haven’t heard someone clearly, don’t grimace in irritation, but kindly say, “Excuse me?” 8. Always address adults as Mr. or Mrs. or Miss, never by their first names. If they are particularly close family friends, your parents may want you to call them “Aunt” or “Uncle.” This shows respect. In the Southern states children use the friendly but respectful “Miss Suzy” or “Miss Martha” when speaking to adult acquaintances. The important thing here is developing a respect for authority, a quality sadly lacking in our country today (Kent and Barbara Hughes).

    INGREDIENTS

    2 c Hot water
    4 oz Cocoa powder
    11 oz Mayonnaise
    14 oz Sugar
    1 tb Baking soda
    1 ts Salt
    14 oz Cake flour
    1 qt Heavy cream
    1/4 c Coconut rum; up to 1/3
    2 lb Semisweet chocolate chopped
    Mandarin orange sections
    Grated coconut
    Shaved chocolate

    INSTRUCTIONS

    CHOCOLATE CAKE
COCONUT GANACHE
For the Cake: Place hot water an cocoa powder in the bowl of a mixer
with a paddle. Mix until blended. Add mayonnaise. Blend until creamy.
Add sugar, baking soda, mix well. Add the flour in three batches, mix
only until blended. Pour into a pan that has been sprayed with
cooking spray, bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.
For the Ganache: Bring cream to a boil. Remove from the flame. Whisk
in coconut rum, and chopped chocolate. Stir until all the chocolate
has melted and set aside to cool.
To Assemble:
Once the cake has cooled, take a slicing knife and even out the top
of the cake. From this one layer we will make four. Spread a thin
layer of ganache on the bottom layer, top with a layer of mandarin
oranges that have been drained from the juice and patted as dry as
possible, a layer of freshly grated coconut and then another thin
layer of ganache top. Repeat the process with the remaining 3 layers.
Coat the top of the cake with a thin layer of ganache and garnish
with mandarins and shaved chocolate.
S: 1 9-inch layer cake
