God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The wicked enemy is so inveterately opposed to the Divine majesty that he would gladly, if it were possible, overturn the throne of God. As he utterly despairs of accomplishing that object, he throws out all his venom against the elect, employs every expedient, and exhausts all his devices to enslave those whom the power of God has torn from his grasp. He assaulted the first Adam in Paradise. He made an attempt on the second Adam in the wilderness, but his efforts were foiled. Disappointed in that expectation, he bends all his attack on those whom Christ has claimed to be his own.
The only thing that has happened to sin is that people now, rather than affirming it by affirming it, prefer to affirm it by denying it… When they call me a sinner because I ought to know better than to affirm sin, they are themselves affirming sin. Though sinning itself is bad enough, denying sin is an additional sin, so that those who deny sin are actually double sinners.

This recipe came with my great-great Grandmother when she left Germany to
settle in Nebraska. The women in my family have been making these for
generations.
Peel the cucumber and drag a fork down them lengthwise, creating a fluted
edge when sliced. Slice these extremely thinly. Place in a bowl and cover
with table salt. Place a tray of ice cubes into the bowl and toss well with
your hands. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and let the ice cubes melt.
With your hands, squeeze the cucumbers to remove the water and place them
into a separate bowl. Dice the onions finely and stir them into the
cucumbers. Stir in the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar. Play with the sauce
ingredients until you reach a taste that you like.
*We serve this as a side dish in our family's favorite meal, "The Nebraska
Supper"...fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn on the cob.
