C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (April 28th)

"All the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted." — Ezekiel 3:7

Are there no exceptions? No, not one. Even the favoured race are thus described. Are the best so bad?-then what must the worst be? Come, my heart, consider how far thou hast a share in this universal accusation, and while considering, be ready to take shame unto thyself herein thou mayst have been guilty. The first charge is impudence, or hardness of forehead, a want of holy shame, an unhallowed boldness in evil. Before my conversion, I could sin and feel no compunction, hear of my guilt and yet remain unhumbled, and even confess my iniquity and manifest no inward humiliation on account of it. For a sinner to go to God's house and pretend to pray to Him and praise Him argues a brazen-facedness of the worst kind! Alas! since the day of my new birth I have doubted my Lord to His face, murmured unblushingly in His presence, worshipped before Him in a slovenly manner, and sinned without bewailing myself concerning it. If my forehead were not as an adamant, harder than flint, I should have far more holy fear, and a far deeper contrition of spirit. Woe is me, I am one of the impudent house of Israel. The second charge is hardheartedness, and I must not venture to plead innocent here. Once I had nothing but a heart of stone, and although through grace I now have a new and fleshy heart, much of my former obduracy remains. I am not affected by the death of Jesus as I ought to be; neither am I moved by the ruin of my fellow men, the wickedness of the times, the chastisement of my heavenly Father, and my own failures, as I should be. O that my heart would melt at the recital of my Saviour's sufferings and death. Would to God I were rid of this nether millstone within me, this hateful body of death. Blessed be the name of the Lord, the disease is not incurable, the Saviour's precious blood is the universal solvent, and me, even me, it will effectually soften, till my heart melts as wax before the fire.

I would like to thank all the pedes who prayed for me yesterday when I posted about the good condition of my prostate cancer, I feel a lot more stronger and healthy, thank you, thank you all, even those who didn't pray.

God is good, very very good, the source of us all.

Matthew 3:17
and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Oh my!!!!

Keto Pork with Gari-Ginger & Clove Sauce

A keto-friendly pork recipe using pickled ginger (gari) and warm spices, transformed into a rich, tangy sauce.
Not keto? We've marked substitutions just for you.

Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• 2 tbsp finely chopped gari (pickled sushi ginger)
  • Keto tip: choose an unsweetened version or rinse before using.
  • Not keto? Use regular sweet gari as-is.
• A splash of gari brine (optional)
• 1 pinch ground clove
• 1 tbsp erythritol or allulose (keto sweeteners)
  • Not keto? Use brown sugar or honey instead.
• 2 tbsp tamari or coconut aminos (soy-free option)
  • Not keto? Use regular soy sauce.
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil or toasted sesame oil
• Optional: minced garlic, black pepper, chili flakes

For the Sauce:

• Reserved used marinade
• 2–3 tbsp water or unsalted broth
• Optional: 1 tsp butter or coconut cream
  • Not keto? You can also use cream for a richer finish.

Instructions

1. Marinate the Pork

1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
2. Add sliced pork (shoulder, tenderloin, or chops).
3. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

2. Cook the Pork

1. Grill or sear the pork until fully cooked and browned.
2. Remove pork and let it rest. Keep any juices in the pan.

3. Turn Marinade into Sauce

1. Deglaze the pan with water or broth, scraping up all the browned bits.
2. Add the leftover marinade.
   • If it was in contact with raw meat, boil for 1–2 minutes.
3. Let reduce until the sauce is slightly syrupy.
4. Stir in butter or coconut cream to finish (optional).
5. Adjust taste with salt, vinegar, or sweetener.
6. Strain for smooth sauce, or keep it rustic.

Keto-Friendly Sides

• Cauliflower mash
• Zucchini noodles or roasted vegetables
• Sautéed greens (kale, spinach, bok choy)
• Shirataki noodles

Not Keto? Try These Sides

• Jasmine rice
• Sweet potato mash
• Rice noodles or udon
• Roasted carrots or glazed parsnips

Note: The original sauce base balances tangy pickled ginger, the warmth of clove, and a sweet-savory glaze. Whether you’re keto or not, this one wins.
