We Love God!

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

No conflict is so severe as his who labors to subdue himself.
Thomas a Kempis

O sinner! The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked. His wrath towards you burns like fire. He looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire. He is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight. You are ten thousand times more abominable in His eyes, than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours. O sinner! You have offended Him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince; and yet it is nothing but His hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment. O sinner! It is to be ascribed to nothing else, that you did not go to hell the last night; that you were allowed to awake again in this world, after you closed your eyes to sleep. And there is no other reason to be given, why you have not dropped into hell since you arose in the morning, but that God's hand has held you up. O sinner! There is no other reason to be given why you have not gone to hell, since you have sat here in the house of God, provoking His pure eyes by your sinful wicked manner of attending His solemn worship. O sinner! Yes, there is nothing else that is to be given as a reason why you do not this very moment drop down into hell. O sinner! Consider the fearful danger you are in! O sinner! It is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that you are held over, in the hand of that God whose wrath is provoked and incensed as much against you, as against many of the damned in hell. O sinner! You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it, and ready every moment to singe it, and burn it asunder. And you have no interest in any Mediator, and nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you ever have done, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you one moment!
Jonathan Edwards

(0)
CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Vegetables, Meats Caprial2 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 c Quinoa
2 c Chicken or vegetable stock
6 Shallots; halved
1 Bulb fennel; peeled and
; julienned
1 tb Plus 1/2 cup olive oil
3 tb Sherry vinegar
3 Cloves garlic; chopped
1 tb Chopped fresh fennel greens
1/2 ts Dry mustard powder
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 325°. Rinse the quinoa under cold running water until
the water runs clear. Heat the chicken stock in a 3-quart saucepan over
high heat until boiling. Add the quinoa and cook until tender and
translucent, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the
quinoa sit for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
Put the shallots and fennel in a medium ovenproof saute pan and drizzle
with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place the pan in the oven and roast
until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside
to cool. When the vegetables are cool enough to handle, remove them from
the pan and reserve the oil they roasted in. Coarsely chop the shallots and
fennel and add them to the bowl with the quinoa. Toss well to combine.
Combine the vinegar, garlic, fennel greens, and mustard in a small bowl and
mix well. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil until the
dressing is emulsified and thickened. Stir in the reserved roasting oil and
season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa and
mix well.
Place the salad on a platter and serve at room temperature.
