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

Grace is reward, or favor, given to those who deserve judgment. If a judge found a serial rapist guilty, and then stepped down from his bench, agreed to take the death penalty in the criminal’s place, and sent the rapist on an all-expense-paid vacation to Hawaii for thirty years, that would be grace. The severity of the criminal’s crimes would be the measure of the judge’s grace. In the same way, the knowledge of what we deserve, and what it cost God to be gracious, is the measure of His fatherly grace. When it is said and done, the cross is the tape that measures the length and breadth of God’s grace. Like God’s wrath, His grace is holy. It transcends all human conceptions.

We have the mistaken notion that evangelism is a choreographed set of ideas well laid out, perfectly transitioned and flawlessly presented. Forget it. It’s not this way. Many of us have tried this with frustration. It is much better to think of evangelism the way the Bible does – “sowing the seed” in any way you can. Any of us can do that. Ever seen a weed grow in an otherwise barren parking lot? Somehow the seed got there and flourished. The simple word in the right place, or the tract well-placed might be the means God uses. Well-oiled presentations frustrate because there is no room for serious questions and discussion on the one hand, and it rules out the less verbal among us, on the other. Rejoice over even the smallest of advances! You are sowing the seed.

buttermilk and egg until well blended and whisk into dry ingredients.
Stir in cilantro and jalapeno. Fold in corn oil and melted butter,
mixing only until combined.  Lightly butter or spray grids of your
waffle iron, if needed. Brush or  spray grids again only if subsequent
waffles stick.  Spoon out 1/2 cup of batter (or amount your waffle
maker's  manufacturer suggests) onto iron, spreading it evenly to edge
of  grids with a metal spatula or wooden spoon. Close lid and bake
until  golden and crispy. Remove waffle from iron and separate into
hearts  or cut into whatever size pieces you want. Place on a baking
sheet,  in a single layer, and put into preheated oven. Continue making
rest  of batch and putting finished waffles on sheet in oven. The
waffles  should bake in oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until they are
very  crispy. Serve immediately or cool on a rack and serve at room
temperature.  From Tuscon area newspapers, 1994, 3rd quarter, courtest
