God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
If this child is born to you, you are a child, and the question arises, are you so? Man grows from childhood up to manhood naturally; in grace men grow from manhood down to childhood; and the nearer we come to true childhood, the nearer welcome to the image of Christ. For was not Christ called “a child,” even after he had ascended up to heaven? “Thy holy child Jesus.” Brethren and sisters, can you say that you have been made into children? Do you take God’s Word just as it stands, simply because your heavenly Father says so? Are you content to believe mysteries without demanding to have them explained? Are you ready to sit in the infant class, and be a little one? Are you willing to hang upon the breast of the church, and suck in the unadulterated milk of the Word – never questioning for a moment what your divine Lord reveals, but believing it on his own authority, whether it seemed to be above reason, or beneath reason, or even contrary to reason? Now, “except ye be converted and become as little children,” this child is not born to you; except like a child you are humble, teachable, obedient, pleased with your Father's will and willing to assign all to Him, there is grave matter of question whether this child is born to you.
Suffering is generally portrayed in the Bible as the necessary and God-ordained, though not God-pleasing, plight of this fallen world (Romans 8:20-25, Ezekiel 18:32), and especially the necessary portion of all who would enter the kingdom (Acts 14:22; 1 Thessalonians 3:3-4) and live lives of godliness (2 Timothy 3:12). This suffering is never viewed merely as a tragedy. It is also viewed as a means of growing deep with God and becoming strong in this life (Romans 5:3-5; James 1:3-4; Hebrews 12:3-11; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:7-12; 12:7-10) and becoming something glorious in the life to come (2 Corinthians 4:17; Romans 8:18).
Crush cranberries. Boil wort. Add cranberries to wort at time finishing
hops are added. Turn off heat and steep at least 15 minutes. Pour wort
into fermenter with enough water to make 5 gallons. Pitch yeast. After
about 5 days, strain into secondary fermenter, avoiding sediment. Bottle
after about 1 more week. Age bottles about 2 weeks. This isn't the best
beer I've ever had, but the red color and mixture of cranberry, champagne,
and beer tastes (in that order) together make wonderful conversation
pieces. A perfect treat for the holidays. The cranberry taste is quite
dominating: I might try just 2 or 3 pounds of cranberries in the future.
This recipe is based on Papazian's Cherries in the Snow. Primary Ferment:
5 days Secondary Ferment: 1 week
