Warm Salad Of Lamb – We Love God!

Sleep is a parable that God is God and we are mere men. God handles the world quite nicely while a hemisphere sleeps. Sleep is like a broken record that comes around with the same message every day: Man is not sovereign. Man is not sovereign. Man is not sovereign. Don’t let the lesson be lost on you. God wants to be trusted as the great worker who never tires and never sleeps. He is not nearly so impressed with our late nights and early mornings as He is with the peaceful trust that casts all anxieties on Him and sleeps.

INSTRUCTIONS

Place all ingredients for the marinade together and add the lamb and
leave for 3 hours - covered.  Prepare the apple by slicing into 3,
leaving the top and stalk intact.  Place apple slices on to an oiled
griddle to score and warm through.  Place the sugar and butter in a
thick, heavy based pan and caramelise  until amber, add the apple.
Heat a heavy based pan and add a little olive oil. Season the lamb
with salt and pepper and seal on a high flame with a little Calvados.
Remove from the heat and keep warm. Add the marinade and rapidly  bring
to the boil. Reduce the liquid until almost a syrupy  consistency,
remove the bay leaf.  Drizzle a little warm marinade over the picked
lettuce and toss to  mix. Place the apple in the centre of the plate.
Carve the lamb.  Build up a layer of apple, lettuce, lamb, apple,
lettuce and finish  off with the apple lid. Place the caramelised balls
on to the plate  and drizzle around the marinade.  DISCLAIMERÂ©

And who and what are ministers themselves? Frail men, fallible, sinning men, exposed to every snare, to temptation in every form; and from the very post of observation they occupy, the fairer mark for the fiery darts of the foe. They are no mean victims the great Adversary is seeking, when he would wound and cripple Christ’s ministers. One such victim is worth more to the kingdom of darkness than a score of common men; and on this very account, the temptations are probably more subtle and severe than those encountered by ordinary Christians. If this subtle Deceiver fails to destroy them, he artfully aims at neutralizing their influence by quenching the fervor of their piety, lulling them into negligence, and doing all in his power to render their work irksome. How perilous the condition of that minister then, whose heart is not encouraged, whose hands are not strengthened, and who is not upheld by the prayers of his people! It is not in his own closet and on his own knees alone that he finds security and comfort and ennobling, humbling and purifying thoughts and joys; but it is when his people also seek them in his behalf that he becomes a better and happier man and a more useful minister of the everlasting gospel.
