God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
But Pastor, doesn’t the verse teach that I am to love myself? Doesn’t it say to love your neighbor “as yourself?” Yes it does. So shouldn’t we then teach, as many secularists do that we cannot love others until we learn to first love ourselves? Answer: no. Because everything about the Christian faith is a death to self. 1 Corinthians 13:5, “Love “does not seek its own.” There is nothing supernatural about loving yourself. Jesus Christ did not deny Himself and give up Himself to make us learn to love ourselves more. He died because we already love ourselves too much! We are experts at putting ourselves first. Ephesians 5:29, “For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it.” So this is not a command for self-love. This is an assumption that we already love ourselves (not of which all is evil) and the way we love ourselves already is to be the example of how we are to love others.

INSTRUCTIONS
PART A
PART B
With an abundance of peaches now, this is a very good pie recipe from the
PA Grange cookbook of some years ago. I hope you give it a try and enjoy it
as much as my family.
Mix part "A" together in bowl and let stand 15 minutes. Mix part "B"
together.
Put 1/3 of the coconut mixture in the bottom of a 9 inch unbaked pie crust.
Add the peach mixture and top with the remaining coconut mixture. Bake in a
425 degree oven for 45 minutes.
