God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the law. The law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man's heart unless you first send the needle of the law to make way for it. If men do not understand the law, they will not feel that they are sinners. And if they are not consciously sinners, they will never value the sin offering. There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.
Christian, it does not need to be this complicated! Do you really think the infinite lover of our soul has neither the desire nor power to keep you from despair? Didn’t He promise you His joy (Jn. 15:11)? Didn’t He promise you true life? So, not to minimize any of our trials, but when we despair, we can’t blame God. The trial is only made worse through our own choices and ignorance or unwillingness to do it God’s way and His ability to bring joy despite and through the trial (Jas. 1:2). We choose the bad attitude. We choose the unhealthy conversations. We choose to the bad theology. We chose to be ignorant of biblical teaching. We choose to exhibit unbelief in the promises of God.
* Use 6-one ounce squares, broken or chopped in large pieces. Put the water
in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle in the yeast. Stir and allow to stand
for 5 minutes to dissolve. Add the flour, sugar, salt, and eggs to the
yeast mixture and beat vigorously until well blended. Beat in the butter in
Tablespoon sized pieces until it is all incorporated and the batter is
smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rise to double
its bulk. Stir the batter down and add the walnuts and chocolate pieces.
Spoon the batter into two greased 8 1/2x4 1/2x3-inch loaf pans (the pans
should be half full so the loaves will have nicely rounded tops when they
finish baking) Bake in a preheated 350 oven for about 45 minutes. Remove
from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then turn loaves out onto
racks. Makes 2 loaves; about 16 slices each. Source: The Breakfast Book,
