God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Authentic, biblical Christianity has always been an exclusive religion. This became apparent during the Roman Empire. When the Emperor Alexander Severus heard about Christianity, he placed an image of Christ beside the other gods in his private chapel, just to be safe. The Romans were happy to welcome Jesus into their pantheon. What the Romans couldn’t understand was why Christians refused to reciprocate. If the emperor was willing to worship Christ, why weren’t Christians willing to worship the emperor? Yet the early Christians insisted that in order to worship Christ at all, they had to worship Christ alone. They were even willing to stand up for this conviction by playing “Christians and lions” at the Colosseum.
God in His love always wills what is best for us. In His wisdom He always knows what is best, and in His sovereignty He has the power to bring it about.
OPTIONAL
Here's a recipe I use for cornbread--you can add peppers and cheese to make
it into Mexican or you can eat it plain; it's always good. The recipe is
one I put together from several.
Preheat oven to 450. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into an 8 x
9 square pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes for 6 to 8 servings; or pour into 12
muffin cups and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Note: I like to mix the corn bread without adding the peppers and pour 6
muffin cups with just the cheese/corn bread mixture. Then I add the peppers
for the other 6 muffin cups.
