We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Worship is eminently practical because adoring and affectionate praise is what restores our sense of ultimate value. It exposes the worthless and temporary and tawdry stuff of this world. Worship energizes the heart to seek satisfaction in Jesus alone. In worship we are reminded that this world is fleeting and unworthy of our heart’s devotion. Worship connects our souls with the transcendent power of God and awakens in us appreciation for true beauty. It pulls back the veil of deception and exposes the ugliness of sin and Satan. Worship is a joyful rebuke of the world. When our hearts are riveted on Jesus everything else in life becomes so utterly unnecessary and we become far less demanding.

Sin comes to us, taps us on the shoulder or tugs at our shirttail and whispers in our ear: “You deserve better than what God has provided. He’s holding out on you. You deserve to feel good about yourself. I’ll affirm you in a way no one else can. Why live in misery any longer? Come to me. I’ll give you a sense of power you’ve never known before. I’ll expand your influence. I’ll fill your heart with a sense of accomplishment. I’ll nourish your soul. You’ve never had a physical rush like the one I’ve got in store for you. Obeying God is boring. It’s a pain. He’s always telling you to do stuff that’s difficult and burdensome and inconvenient or ordering you to forsake the few things that really bring you happiness. Come on. You’ve only got one life. Obedience is ugly. My way is fun. My way feels good.”

Creamy Cabbage Soup

0
(0)
CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Dairy, Meats Soup 6 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1/2 c Unsalted butter
1 lg Cabbage; cored and shredded
2 qt Milk
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lb Smoked hot pork sausage sliced
1/4 c Water

INSTRUCTIONS

Instead of adding sausage to the soup, McNair suggests crumbled crispy
bacon.  [PATh 01 Oc 96 mcRecipe]
In a soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage and saute
for about 2 minutes. Stir in the milk and salt and pepper to taste; be
generous with the pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until
the cabbage is very tender and the soup is creamy, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, combine the sausage and water in a saute pan or skillet. Cook
over medium-high heat until the water evaporates. Reduce the heat and
continue cooking until the sausage renders its fat and is lightly browned,
about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted utensil to paper toweling to
drain. Add to the soup about 15 minutes before it is ready to serve.
Ladle the soup into preheated bowls and serve immediately. Or refrigerate
from hours to 2 days.  Reheat slowly or served cold.
