God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
We should be careful about saying, “Jesus meets all our needs.” At first, this has a plausible biblical ring to it. Christ is a friend; God is a loving Father; Christians do experience a sense of meaningfulness and confidence in knowing God’s love. It makes Christ the answer to our problems. Yet if our use of the term “needs” is ambiguous, and its range of meaning extends all the way to selfish desires, then there will be some situations where we should say that Jesus does not intend to meet our needs, but that he intends to change our needs.
The Bible does not deal specifically with abortion. For that matter, it does not deal specifically with infanticide, the killing of babies. Nor does it talk about parricide, fratricide, uxoricide (killing of one's wife), nor genocide (the killing of a whole race). Examples of such crimes are mentioned, but not singled out for special treatment. In fact, the Bible does not even discuss suicide (self-killing). There are specific provisions against homicide – the deliberate taking of human life (“killing” or “slaying” is the usual expression). The Bible prohibits the taking of innocent human life. If the developing fetus is shown to be a human being, then we do not need a specific commandment against feticide (abortion) any more than we need something specific against uxoricide (wife-killing). The general commandment against killing covers both.
Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add corn syrup and bourbon and mix
well. If too moist add a few cookie crumbs, if too dry add a little more
bourbon. Shape into small balls and roll in fruit sugar or fonely chopped
pecans. I also roll some in cocoa powder. Store in an airtight container.
NOTES : Also good made with dark rum. One year I made with Southern Comfort
and everyone liked them.
