God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
A steady diet of performances by soloists or even choirs can have the unintended effect of undermining the corporate, participative nature of our musical worship. People can gradually come to think of worship in terms of passive observation, which we do not see modeled in the Bible. Such a diet may also begin to blur the line between worship and entertainment, especially in a television-sopped culture like ours, where one of our most insidious expectations is to be always entertained. Of course, this blurring is hardly ever intended. But over time, separating the “performers” from “the rest of the congregation” can subtly shift the focus of our attention from God to the musicians and their talent – a shift that is frequently revealed by applause at the end of some performance pieces. Who is the beneficiary of such applause? (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Blanch peaches in boiling water 30 seconds. Immediately rinse with cold
running water; drain well. Peel peaches; cut in half; remove and discard
pits. 2. Heat 2 cups water, the sugar and vanilla in medium saucepan to
boiling; boil, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Sugar should be completely
dissolved. Add peach halves; poach until tender but still firm, about 10
minutes. Remove peaches with slotted spoon to bowl, reserving syrup;
refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. 3. Add cranberries to syrup. Heat to
boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 10 minutes. Puree mixture in food processor or
blender; stir in kirsh. Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 1 hour. 4.
At serving time, stand 2 peach halves upright in each of 6 stemmed glasses;
place a scoop of ice cream between halves; spoon cranberry puree over ice
cream. NOTES: If fresh peaches aren't available, you can used canned
freestone (Elberta) peaches. The cranberry puree has a nubby texture; if
you want a smoother sauce, press puree through fine-mesh sieve to remove
bits of skin.
