Philippino Pork – We Love God!

God is glorified not only by His glory’s being seen, but by its being rejoiced in... [W]hen those that see it delight in it: God is more glorified than if they only see it; His glory is then received by the whole soul, both by the understanding and by the heart. God made the world that He might communicate, and the creature receive, His glory; and that it might [be] received both by the mind and heart. He that testifies his idea of God’s glory [doesn’t] glorify God so much as he that testifies also his approbation of it and his delight in it.

Jonathan Edwards

A Message from our Provider:

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”

The following are a smattering of examples of the “fig leaves” we wear: 1. We change the subject or crack jokes if an awkward or threatening subject arises. 2. We monopolize conversation, filling silences to keep others at bay and to keep from feeling like failures. 3. We live or die vicariously with a sports team. 4. We run from problems by watching TV, drinking, smoking, promiscuity, workaholism, compulsive eating. 5. We mock or “put in a box” those whose opinions or problems threaten our own commitments and behavior. 6. We get defensive, accusatory, testy, or talk loudly, or try to bully others to defend ourselves and make a show of competency. 7. We overdo penance by saying, “Poor me; I’m so horrible and such a failure,” by expressing maudlin repentance and wallowing in failures. 8. We minimize the seriousness of problems – “It’s nothing” – or the difficulty of change – “I promise “l’ll never do it again.” 9. We lie outright, to look good or to avoid looking bad. 10. We lie subtly, putting ourselves in the best light by innuendo, embellishment, or careful selection of data. This often accompanies subtle expressions of contempt or criticism for other people. 11. We think highly of our own opinions on every issue. 12. We tie up our identity in certain grandiose roles, like “counselor” or “parent” or “pastor.” Any of our functions and successes, real or imagined, can become fodder for self-deception. 13. We pray for help before performing a certain responsibility, and then rehearse our own success afterwards without thought of God.
