People say to me, isn’t Christianity about following (implied: outdated and meaningless) rules? No! It’s about following Jesus which means living according to His nature so that our relationship with Him will be strong and our lives will be blessed. Don’t buy the lie! Not following Him is slavery. Following Him is liberation. Those weighed down with the most anxiety, guilt, shame and fear in life are those who are following Christ the least. External rules are a burden. There is no power to obey them. Rules do not change a heart. Our Lord changes our hearts. He gives us grace-empowerment. He provides purpose in doing it His way.

INSTRUCTIONS

REGULAR LOAF
LARGE LOAF
The trick to making 100% whole wheat bread in your machine is an extra
knead, which gives the yeast and gluten a second chance to create a lighter
loaf.  When your first knead cycle is completed, simply reset the machine
and start again.  Some manufacturers produce home bakeries with a whole
wheat cycle; if your machine doesn't have one, this start- again method
works as an easy alternative. SUCCESS HINTS: The gluten gives the whole
wheat flour the structure necessary for a good loaf. If your market doesn't
stock wheat gluten, try your local health food store. Remember the extra
knead.  It's especially important in 100% whole wheat bread. Because of the
extra knead, us this recipe only on the regular bake cycle. CALORIES: 125

A Message from our Provider:

“Man’s way leads to a hopeless end — God’s way leads to an endless hope.”

How many, how suitable, how sovereign are the supports our heavenly Father affords to His afflicted children! They make the affliction, which in itself would seem heavy and tedious appear to be light, and but for a moment. It is happier to be in the furnace of affliction with these supports than to be in the highest prosperity without them! Blessed with the hopes and comforts of Christ! The true Christian would prefer the lot of Lazarus, with all the poverty and distress which he endured to the lot of the rich man, who, amidst all the splendor and affluence which this world could afford – lived a life of alienation from God, and destitute of the sovereign supports which can only be enjoyed, by those who love and fear Him.
