We Love God!

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

A person's life is his most precious possession. Consequently, to rob him of it is the greatest sin we can commit against him, while to give one's own life on his behalf is the greatest possible expression of love for him (1 Jn. 3:16). This, then, is the ultimate contrast: Cain's hatred issued in murder, Christ's love (issued) in self-sacrifice.
John Stott

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).

INGREDIENTS

6 lg Potatoes
1/4 c Butter, melted
1/2 ts Salt
4 ts Chives, chopped
1/2 c Parmesan
3 tb Bread crumbs

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350.  Peel potatoes and place in cold water.  Then dry
thoroughly and a thin slice off the long side of each potato so it
can sit flat.  With a sharp knife, cut vertical slits from the top
almost to the bottom of each potato.  Dip cut potatoes in melted
butter and sprinkle with salt.  Bake on a foil covered baking sheet
for 1 1/2 hours basting with the remaining butter.  In the last 15
minutes, combine the chives, cheese and crumbs and stuff them into
the slits in the potatoes, to form a topping.

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
