God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
In Romans 3, Paul makes abundantly clear that unconverted people do not seek after God… To the naked eye it may seem that unbelievers are searching for God or seeking for the kingdom of God, while they are in fact fleeing from God with all of their might… People who are unconverted seek the “benefits” that only God can give them, such as ultimate meaning and purpose in their lives, relief from guilt, the presence of joy and happiness, and things of this nature. These are benefits the Christian recognizes can only come through a vital, saving relationship with Christ.
Envy is not a synonym for jealousy. Synonyms can be used interchangeably; envy and jealousy can’t. If you don’t believe me, try substituting the word “envious” for “jealous” in the phrase: “For I the Lord your God am a jealous God.” Jealousy is possessive and protective; it can be good or bad. God’s jealousy – His possessiveness of His people – is a good thing; it protects us from being plucked out of His hand.
Preheat the oven to 425F. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
in a large bowl. Mix well. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a
pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the eggs,
milk and raisings. Stir quickly with a fork until the dough leaves the
sides of the bowl and forms a ball. Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet to
form the desired number of scones. Leave at least 1" between the scones.
Bake until golden (about 12-15 minutes). Remove to a wire rack, and brush
immediately with honey. Serve at once with butter, jam and whipped cream.
