God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The benefits [the Lord’s Supper] confers, are spiritual, not physical. Its effects must be looked for in our inward man. It was intended to remind us, by the visible, tangible emblems of bread and wine, that the offering of Christ’s body and blood for us on the cross, is the only atonement for sin, and the life of a believer’s soul. It was meant to help our poor weak faith to closer fellowship with our crucified Savior, and to assist us in spiritually feeding on Christ’s body and blood. It is an ordinance for redeemed sinners, and not for unfallen angels. By receiving it we publicly declare our sense of guilt, and need of a Savior – our trust in Jesus, and our love to Him – our desire to live upon Him, and our hope to live with Him. Using it in this spirit, we shall find our repentance deepened, our faith increased, our hope brightened, and our love enlarged – our besetting sins weakened, and our graces strengthened. It will draw us nearer to Christ.
When the New Testament speaks of the church’s glory, it is speaking of its dignity. By analogy, the husband is called to give himself to the purpose of establishing his wife in the fullness of dignity. When he uses his authority to destroy his wife’s dignity, he becomes the direct antithesis of Christ. He mirrors not Christ but the Antichrist.
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and baking powder. In another
bowl, beat eggs. Add orange juice and oil; stir into the dry ingredients
just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fold in cranberries and
pecans. Spoon into 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups (cups will be
almost full). Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from pan to cool on a wire rack. Freeze muffins in freezer bags and
thaw as needed.
