Red Currant And Orange Cake

Most of us hear the word “will” and instinctively envision a celestial frown. The phrase “will of God” often conjures up the mental impression of an inflexible and colorless lawgiver whose sole concern is for his own reputation. But when I hear Paul speak of God’s “will” for human sexuality I think of his heart’s desire, his yearning, his fatherly passion for our maximum enjoyment of one of his most precious gifts. I hear God saying, “This is what I long for you to experience as a sexual being. I made you. I put those sexual impulses in your spirit and in your body. I created hormones. Trust me when I say that I know far better than you what will bring the greatest joy and optimum pleasure.” The point is simply that God’s “will” for you and me is always an expression of his love. So what exactly is it that God “wants” of us when it comes to our sexual behavior?

1996 17:01:06 EDT Pull the currants gently off  their stems.  Rinse
them and set aside. Finely chop the zest.  Set  aside. Butter the sides
and bottom of a 10-inch cake pan; line the  bottom with a circle of
parchment or wax paper. Preheat the oven to  350 F. Using an electric
mixer (paddle attachment if you have one),  cream the butter and sugar
until light. Mix in the oil. Add the eggs  and mix until smooth. Scrape
the sides and bottom of the bowl. With  the mixer on low speed, add the
baking powder and 1 cup of flour.  When well combined, add half the
milk, another cup of flour, the rest  of the milk, and the rest of the
flour, mixing well after each  addition. Stop to scrape the bowl as
necessary. Remove the bowl from  the mixer and gently fold in the
currants and orange zest. Pour the  batter into the prepared pan and
bake until golden brown and firm on  top, about 50 minutes. Cool on a
rack to room temperature. Serve with  lightly whipped unsweetened
cream.  Recipe is from The American Baker by Jim Dodge with Elaine
Ratner.  EAT-L Digest 14 July 96  From the EAT-L recipe list.

Justification by faith is an answer to the greatest personal question ever asked by a human soul: 'How shall I be right with God? How do I stand in God’s sight? With what favor does he look upon me?' There are those, I admit, who never raise that question. There are those who are concerned with the question of their standing before men but never with the question of their standing before God. There are those who are interested in what 'people say' but not in the question of what God says. Such men, however, are not those who move the world. They are apt to go with the current. They are apt to do as others do. They are not the heroes who change the destinies of the race. The beginning of true nobility comes when a man ceases to be interested in the judgment of men and becomes interested in the judgment of God.
