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

Most do not consider that solemn oaths in a court of justice, or on other proper occasions, are wrong, provided they are taken with due reverence. Others, however, such as Quakers, take this verse in its most literal sense and will not swear any type of oath. But all oaths taken without necessity, or in common conversation, must be sinful, as well as all those expressions that are appeals to God, though persons think thereby to evade the guilt of swearing. Evil men and women are not bound by oaths; the godly have no need of them (J.M. Freeman).

The theological roots of this concept of “vocation” are found in the biblical doctrine of creation and divine sovereignty. We are by God’s creative decree shaped in His image and thus designed to reflect in all our endeavors the purposeful activity of God Himself. All Christians, therefore, should ideally embrace their “work”, however secular and uneventful it may appear, as a calling of God, a responsibility for which they have been uniquely endowed that is designed in its own way to glorify God. One’s “job” or “career” or “occupation” thus has a meaning beyond mere personal fulfillment. “Ministry” is therefore not what the majority of Christians perform as “a discretionary time activity – something done with the few hours that can be squeezed out of the week’s schedule after working, sleeping, homemaking, neighbouring, washing and doing the chores” (Stevens, The Other Six Days, 132). It is, rather, all of life when discharged in faith.

    CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
    6 Servings

    INGREDIENTS

    1 pt Strawberries with stems on
    (preferably a
    Long-stemmed variety),
    Washed and
    Patted dry
    4 oz Semisweet chocolate
    1 tb Cooking oil

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Spread strawberries on a working surface with wax-paper-covered tray
nearby. You will also need one or two bamboo skewers or other picks.
In the top of a double boiler over hot water, melt the chocolate with the
cooking oil, stirring to mix thoroughly.  (The cooking oil will add a
beautiful shine to the completed sweet.)  Place melted chocolate near
working surface, but keep chocolate warm.
One at a time, insert the skewer in the stem end of a strawberry and dip
into the chocolate.  Lift out and shake any excess chocolate back into the
pot.  Place the strawberry on the wax paper and continue with the remaining
berries.  The strawberries should set for about 10 minutes before being
served.
Chocolate-dipped strawberries can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours,
during which time the chocolate will harden.
