God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
There are people, professing Christian people, who are determined to bring you under their religious thumb. They are bent on making you a slave of their conscience. They have built a tidy religious box, without biblical justification, and strive to stuff you inside and make you conform to its dimensions. They are legalists, and their tools are guilt, fear, intimidation, and self-righteousness. They proclaim God’s unconditional love for you, but insist on certain conditions before including you among the accepted, among the approved elite, among God’s favored few… They threaten to rob you of joy and to squeeze the intimacy out of your relationship with Jesus. They may even lead you to doubt your salvation. They heap condemnation and contempt on your head so that your life is controlled and energized by fear rather than freedom and joy and delight in God.
One of the highest of human duties is the duty of encouragement… It is easy to laugh at men’s ideals; it is easy to pour cold water on their enthusiasm; it is easy to discourage others. The world is full of discouragers. We have a Christian duty to encourage one another. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word.
German sweet chocolate; coarsely chopped (4 ounces)
INSTRUCTIONS
On Thanksgiving and Christmas mornings in my house I barely have time to
swallow a muffin while beginning to prepare the side dishes and main course
for dinner. On New Year's Day is the morning I get to be spoiled. My
husband prepares breakfast. The muffins or sweet breads I made prior and
had been frozen. Found these recipes in a new cookbook called, All Time
Family Favorites, Breakfast & Brunch. They contain my favorite ingredient,
chocolate.
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir eggs, bananas, oil and milk until well blended. Add flour, sugar,
baking powder and salt, stir until just moistened. Stir in chocolate. Pour
into greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until toothpick
inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove
from pan to cool on wire rack.
