Have You Seen Regeneration in Galatians 4:5-6?

   

       Have you ever heard that there is no greater miracle than regeneration? When I read that sentence, it made me go wow inside.  I think when you read the paragraph from Chapter 32 of the Life Study of Galatians that this sentence comes from, I think you will say wow, too.

Being cleansed is not the highlight of God's salvation.  The highlight is that God has regenerated us, that He has actually imparted His life and nature into us to make us His sons.  Now we are not God's sons-in-law--we are the sons of God in life. Certainly there is no greater wonder in the universe than that sinful men by being regenerated can become sons of God.  Many today are seeking wonders and miracles.  But they do not realize that there is no greater miracle than regeneration.  By regeneration fallen people become sons of God (Lee, Witness. Life Study of Galatians. Anaheim: Living Stream Ministry, 1980, Print).

      This sharing was given on Galatians 4:5-6 at a conference following the summer Life-Study training on Galatians.  In these verses the apostle Paul speaks about the divine sonship. The biblical truth is when we were regenerated, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our spirit causing us to be born of God!  Look at these verses:  That He might redeem those under law that we might receive the sonship. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father! Whenever I hear a word about regeneration, I go back in my mind to John 3 where the Lord talked with Nicodemus. Here is the part in John 3:4-7 on this: 

   Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God (the footnote says, "It is a divine realm to be entered into, a realm that requires the divine life").
   Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old?  He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?
   Jesus answered, Truly, truly I say to you, Unless one is born of water (baptism in the footnote of the Recovery Version) and the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
   That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
   Do not marvel that I say to you, You must be born anew.
  

Doesn't this make you want to pray, Lord keep my regeneration always fresh and new? May it always be the greatest miracle of all to me! Don't ever let me lose that sense of wow!

From The Collected Works of Witness Lee - What Causes the Seed to Grow in the Parable in Mathew 13?

    There are probably many how to books on Christian growth. Many books cover topics like reading the Bible more, living with purpose, and prayer.    A few days ago I read a chapter called The Way to Grow out of The Collected Works of Witness Lee  that warmed my heart. In this chapter Witness Lee begins by talking about the parable of the sower in Matthew 13. Most Christians know there are four kinds of ground in this parable--hard, stony, thorny, and good. Most farmers know that whether a seed makes it or not has a lot to do with the soil. In his sharing, he pinpoints the problem in the heart  on page 543 to one thing:  

  If we spend time to study these three cases, we will see that the lack of growth is due to one thing:  after a person is saved by having the divine seed sown into him, he may not love the Lord.  If we study our history and compare it with the New Testament, we will find that the first step, the first main thing needed, for a believer to grow is to love the Lord (Matt. 22:37; John 14:23; 1 Cor. 2:9; Rev. 2:4)...If we want the Lord to grow within us, our heart must be dug. Our heart can be dug by only one thing--love...No one and nothing can take away the hidden stones in our heart.  This requires our love toward the Lord.  If we do not love the Lord, it will be difficult for any of us to avoid being choked (Lee, Witness. The Collected Works of Witness Lee,  Vol. 4,  1964, Print).  

I read and reread this page because I had never heard something so clear and so simple on how to grow.  I really like the prayer he gives: "If we simply pray, 'Lord, be merciful to me.  Grant me a love for You,' our stony heart will be dealt with" ( Page 544).  

   Then he shares three other helps to foster our spiritual growth--confessing our sins and failures, exercising our spirit to touch the Lord (John 4:24), and last of all we would live our daily life in contact with the Lord.  Since reading this chapter, this prayer has stayed in my heart.  A few days ago I came across a wonderful quote from  Augustine on loving God that I wrote in my journal:  

" I love You, Lord, not doubtingly, but with absolute certainty.

  Your word beat upon my heart until I fell in love with You,

 and now the universe and everything in it

tells me to love You."

Terrific Gluten Free Strawberry & Peach Trifle

The first time I had trifle was when I was in elementary school and my Aunt Shirley who is from England made it for dessert.  I never forgot it, wow what a dessert!  It's an amazing combo of cake smothered with pudding, fruit, and whipped cream--yum!    

  Anyway about a month ago one of the Christian women I meet with on Friday nights brought it for dessert.  It looked incredible, and all I could have was some of the whipped cream and fruit off the top.  If you're gluten free, you know what it's like to drool over everyone else's plate while you have to go without or have something else.  That's when I decided I was going to make a gluten free trifle.

    
  To make this completely from scratch you will have to make both the sponge cake and the custard the day before. I used the recipe of the back of Bob's Red Mill sorghum flour for the pound cake recipe. I was short on time, so I used some gluten free custard I picked up from the Co-op.  I made this for father's day dessert, and it was both very beautiful and delicious!!

Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pound Cake

1.  Prepare dry ingredients - In a large bowl whisk together:
(1)  1 cup white rice flour, 1/2 cup sorghum flour, and 1/4 cup cornstarch/tapioca starch
(2)  Stir in leavening:  2 t baking powder and 1 t xanthan gum


2.  Cream butter and sugar:
(1)  Beat  1 cup of butter that's at room temperature until it's creamy and smooth.
(2)  Add 1 cup of white sugar and beat into the butter until light and fluffy about 5 minutes.
(3)  Add 4 eggs ONE at a time and beat well after each one is added.
(4)  Then add 2 t of vanilla extract and blend in.

3. Combine:  Add the dry ingredients to the wet and blend until fully mixed.

4.  Spread into a 9" loaf pan and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes.

Terrific Gluten Free Trifle

1. Prepare your favorite gluten free vanilla pudding.

2.  Cut cubes of pound cake:  

(1)  Slice 3/4 of  the pound cake in half lengthwise. (I couldn't use all of the cake. One recipe I looked up for trifle said you just need 6 cups of 1" cubes and the rest you can use for something else.)

(2)  Spread with jam

(3)  Cut into 1" cubes - I made mine a little bigger.

2.  Line the bowl with half of the cubes

 3.  Make first layer of custard and fruit
(1)  Spoon half of the custard you made over the sponge cake cubes.
(2)  Arrange drained sliced peaches and freshly cut strawberries over the top of custard.  (You can use any fruit combination would like!)

4. Make second layer of sponge cake, custard, and fruit

(1)  Lay sponge cake cubes around the outside of the bowl

(2)  Spoon second layer of custard over the top

(3)  Arrange a layer of peaches and strawberries

5.  Whipping  the cream:

(1)  Beat 2 cups of cream until stiff

(2)  Gradually add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar beating until stiff peaks form

(3)  Spread over the top of the last layer

(4)  Sprinkle with slivered almonds.

6.  Refrigerate until ready to serve at least 4 hours for best results!  Make sure when you serve that you go down through all the layers!!

Notes:  I saw in one of my cookbooks a recipe for tropical trifle with pineapple, bananas, and strawberries.  They used the pineapple juice and some orange juice to spoon over the cake cubes. I'm definitely going to try that and add a bit of coconut to it, too!

How Do You Walk in Spirit in Galatians 5:25?

     “It is crucial to realize that the Christian walk is simply a life in the spirit” (Lee, Witness. Life Study of Galatians. Anaheim: Living Stream Ministry, 1979 Print).  Wow, that amazing statement on page 258 boils the entire Christian life into one sentence!  This is based on Galatians 5:25, "If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit." In order to help his readers get this spiritual truth, Witness Lee shares in these chapters about the organic union that took place when we were regenerated.  If you're like me, this term may sound a bit unusual to you. 

       And like so many biblical truths, you have to piece verses together to see this truth clearly.  An important verse that gives light on what happened at our regen-eration is in 1 Corinthians 6:17: "He who is joined to the Lord is ONE spirit."  This oneness denotes a union, and because we are living, this union must be organic!!   This Life-Study said that the Lord Himself alluded to this organic union when He told the disciples in John 15 that He was the vine and they were branches abiding in Him.  Surely the branches are in an organic union with the vine; they are not merely taped onto the vine.

  In chapter 27 of the Life-Study of Galatians he provides a very short and clear explanation on page 239 about this organic union and our walking by the Spirit:

Paul speaks of the Spirit and our spirit again and again.  Apart from the Spirit, there can no Christian walk.  When we are in our spirit, we are simultaneously in the Spirit, because the Spirit is one with our spirit.  When we first began to appreciate the preciousness of the Lord Jesus and to call on His name, an organic union took place between the Spirit and our regenerated spirit.  This organic union is described by the word mingling (Lee, Witness. Life-Study of Galatians. Anaheim: Living Stream Ministry, 1979, Print).

Seeing my relationship with the Lord this way has really helped me!  

Blog Update 7/30/13:  Today I listened to a song on Youtube that a brother wrote based on Galatians 2:20--I like this part of the verse--"and the life  which I now live in the flesh, I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who  loved me and gave Himself up for me."

Blog Update 11/3/13:  I would encourage you to listen to Programs 27 and 28 that covers Galatians 5 on the Life Study of the Bible with Witness Lee.

Tasty Adzuki Bean & Bok Choy Stir Fry

I made this stir fry the first time last summer for our Japanese international students.  I liked the crunch of the bok choy and the sauce is incredible with just the right proportions of tamari, sesame oil and tang from the rice vinegar.  It's really true that the stir fry sauce almost makes the stir fry.  I got this delicious vegetarian stir fry recipe from Nicole's Kitchen. 

Gluten Free Adzuki Bean & Bok Choy Stir Fry

1.  Prepare vegetables:

(1)  Chop 3 cups of bok choy.  I dice the stem and then chop the leaves.

(2)  Slice 1/2 of an onion.

(3)  Mince 3 cloves of garlic.

2.  Stir fry:

(1)   Put 2 T of coconut oil into a large skillet and sauté the onion for 2 minutes.  

(2)  Then add the bok choy and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes or until the bok choy is tender.  

Note:  Add more water if needed.  

(3)  Add 1 1/2 cups of adzuki beans

(4)  Then in a small dish mix together:  8 T gluten free tamari, 8 t rice mirin, 8 t sesame oil, 8 t rice vinegar, and 8 t sugar/agave. 

(5)  Add the sauce to the adzuki bean and bok choy stir fry. 

Serve over rice.

Fantastic Gluten Free Chicken Kabobs

Kabobs make great summer dinners!  We made these for father's day.  They were so yummy.  I like to make kabobs for special occasions.  This recipe is certainly worth all the extra work!

The marinade for this recipe comes from my Come & Dine cookbook, and it's really good.

Gluten Free Chicken Kabobs

 1.  Prepare chicken:  Rinse a 2.5 pound bag of chicken breast tenderloins and cut into 1" pieces for the kabobs.

2.  Prepare chicken marinade:  
(1)  In a small bowl mix together 1/3 cup of gluten free tamari, 1 t of olive oil,  3 T brown sugar, 1/8 cup rice mirin, 1 clove of minced garlic, 3/4 t of minced ginger, 1/4 t salt, and 1/4 t of black pepper.
(2)  Add the chicken and let it marinade 4-6 hours or overnight.  (I just marinated it for about 6 hours)

3.  Prepare vegetables:
(1)  Chop an onion into about 4 wedges so that you can easily pull it apart and put on a skewer.
(2)  Slice  2 red peppers and then cut into 1" pieces
(3)  Slice 1 zucchini and 1 summer squash into rounds
(4)  Additional:  Mushrooms, tomatoes, and pineapple chunks
(5)  Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables to coat them then sprinkle with some Costco Organic No Salt Seasoning or something similar.

Note:  You can put the skewers into a pie pan with a bit of water to soak so they don't burn on the grill.

4.  Prepare kabobs: This is the funnest part!  It was a beautiful sunny day so my daughters took the bowls out onto the deck to make the kabobs.  

(1)  Arrange the vegetables and the chicken in a alternating pattern.  I try to put some onion near the chicken to give it more flavor.  

(2)  We made some separate chicken and separate vegetable kabobs as well as some combination kabobs. 

(3)  Save the marinade and put it in a pan, and cook it for 5 minutes. You can  brush the kabobs with this remaining marinade  when you flip them for extra flavor.

5.  Grill kabobs:  Cook the kabobs on medium high heat and rotate them every 4-5 minutes until the chicken is done.

How is Christ Formed in the Believers in Galatians 4:19?

   Some verses are hard to get at first. This week I read a Life-Study that covered a verse like that. It's Galatians 4:19:  My children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ is formed in you.  Have you ever thought how's that supposed to happen? 

   When a person is born again like it talks about in John 3, the Lord's life within him is just like that of a newborn babe.  Just like for our physical existence, spiritual food is all that new life needs in order to grow. Year after year this eating causes us to go through stages of growth that very much mirror our own human growth.  These lines about this process stood out to me  on pages 204-205 of my reading in chapter 23:

 Paul was in travail that Christ might be formed in the Galatians....Christ was born into the Galatian believers, but not formed in them, when they were regenerated through Paul's preaching the gospel to them the first time. Now the apostle travails again that

Christ might be formed in them.  To have Christ formed in us is to have Christ grown in us in full. First Christ was born into us at our conversion, then He lives in us in our Christian life (2:20), and He will be formed in us at our maturity" (Lee, Witness. Life Study of Galatians. Anaheim: Living Stream Ministry, 1979, Print).

  Reading this made me think the Lord's life doesn't want to stay shriveled up within us. He wants to grow and spread in our hearts until Christ is fully formed within us. And that's what everything in our lives are helping accomplish!

Update 11/3/13:  You can listen to fellowship on Galatians 4:19 on Program 23 called The Need for Christ to Be Formed on Life Study of the Bible with Witness Lee.

Mark's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies - Made Gluten Free!

    Probably every kid has grown up loving chocolate chip cookies and milk.  These chocolate chip cookies are from my daughter-in-law's family reunion cookbook.  I have known her Uncle Mark since his childhood, and I have heard about his chocolate chip cookies. 

 Yesterday I halved the recipe (and that's what I printed below) and made some substitutions.  As you can see in the pictures, my grandkids love to help me bake.  We gave them the out of the oven taste test, and yes even though gluten free these are amazing cookies!

(1)  1 cup rice flour, 1 cup sorghum flour, and 1 cup tapioca flour

(2)  Stir in 1 tsp. baking soda

2.  Cream butter and sugar - In a mixing bowl put:

(1)  1 cup of butter and  1 1/2 cups of sugar (half white and half brown) in a stand up mixer for 5 minutes.

4.  Baking cookies:  Put 1 tablespoon of dough on a cookie sheet  (We rounded them into  balls and then flattened them a bit with the palm of our hand)

and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Put on a wire rack to cool.
