The idea of being on fire for Christ will strike some people as dangerous emotionalism. 'Surely,' they will say, 'We are not meant to go to extremes? You are not asking us to become hot-gospel fanatics?' Well, wait a minute. It depends what you mean. If by 'fanaticism' you really mean 'wholeheartedness,' then Christianity is a fanatical religion and every Christian should be a fanatic. But fanaticism is not wholeheartedness, nor is wholeheartedness fanaticism. Fanaticism is an unreasoning and unintelligent wholeheartedness. It is the running away of the heart with the head. At the end of a statement prepared for a conference on science, philosophy and religion at Princeton University in 1940 came these words: 'Commitment without reflection is fanaticism in action; but reflection without commitment is the paralysis of all action.' What Jesus Christ desires and deserves is the reflection which leads to commitment and the commitment which is born of reflection. This is the meaning of wholeheartedness, of being aflame for God.

This first one is from 'THAI COOKERY - THE EASY WAY'. Remove any skin and
bones from fish and cut into pieces. Place in the bowl of a food processor
with all remaining ingredients except oil. Process for 30 seconds or until
just mixed - do not overmix to a puree. Refrigerate mixture for one hour or
leave overnight. Shape mixture into 5cm diameter patties. Heat oil in a wok
or deep frying pan and fry the fish cakes a few at a time until crisp and
golden brown, turning once. Drain on absorbent paper and keep hot in a very
slow oven (120 degrees C.) while frying the remainder.  Serve hot. Serves 4
to 6.

A Message from our Provider:

“God will ultimately have HIS way, not yours!”

Christ was all anguish that I might be all joy, cast off that I might be brought in, trodden down as an enemy that I might be welcomed as a friend, surrendered to hell's worst that I might attain heaven's best, stripped that I might be clothed, wounded that I might be healed, athirst that I might drink, tormented that I might be comforted, made a shame that I might inherit glory, entered darkness that I might have eternal light. My Savior wept that all tears might be wiped from my eyes, groaned that I might have endless song, endured all pain that I might have unfading health, bore a thorned crown that I might have a glory-diadem, bowed his head that I might uplift mine, experienced reproach that I might receive welcome, closed his eyes in death that I might gaze on unclouded brightness, expired that I might for ever live.
