INGREDIENTS

2	tb	Yeast
1	ts	Sugar
2	c	Warm water
6	c	All-purpose flour; (about)
1	tb	Salt
1/3	c	Vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Dissolve the active dry yeast along with the sugar in the water in a
large glass container. Mix and let sit about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl mix 5 cups of the flour with the salt. Add the yeast
mixture and the vegetable oil. Work the ingredients together with a spoon;
when they come together turn out on a floured board, and knead with your
hands until the dough becomes a smooth ball. Place in a greased bowl and
let rise, covered, for an hour or so or until doubled.
3. Punch down and divide into 4 balls. Cover with a towel and let rise
about a half hour.
4. Meanwhile, place 4 empty round baking pans or cookie sheets in a
preheated 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes and remove.
5. When the dough has risen, punch down and divide into 4 balls. At this
point you can treat this like everyday or Sabbath bread. For weekdays,
press down and stretch, using the back of your hand. Grease the baking pans
and press the dough down into them. Using your fingers, make big
indentations in the center of the dough. For Sabbath bread, keep the shape
in a round and make a few slashes in the bread. Sprinkle the dough,
whatever the shape, with water and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or
until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped with a spatula.

“To dyslexic atheist: There is a dog”

During the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s, Martin Luther articulated a timeless distinction between two approaches to knowing God. He labeled one a “theology of glory,” and applied it to those who believe they can attain to a glorious knowledge of God by human goodness, religious effort, mystical experiences, or the wisdom of human reason. According to this view, God manifests Himself most often through blessings, victory, success, miracles, power, and other exhilarating experiences of “glory.” By contrast, Luther argued that the biblical way to know God goes through a “theology of the cross.” God has “hidden” Himself where human wisdom would not expect to find Him, that is, in the lowliness and suffering of the man Jesus Christ, and especially in His humiliating death on a Roman cross. As Luther put it, “true theology and recognition of God are in the crucified Christ.” So rather than finding God by ascending to Him through our efforts, wisdom, or self-initiated experiences, God has descended to us in Jesus whose glory was in the least-expected of places – the cross – and in a way where He can be found by faith alone.

Donald S. Whitney

Because all men be sinners and offenders against God, and breakers of His law and commandments, therefore can no man by His own acts, works, and deeds (seem they never so good) be justified, and made righteous before God: But every man of necessity is constrained to seek for another righteousness or justification, to be received at God’s own hands, that is to say, the forgiveness of his sins and trespasses, in such things as he hath offended. And this justification or righteousness, which we so receive of God’s mercy and Christ’s merits, embraced by faith, is taken, accepted, and allowed of God, for our perfect and full justification.

Thomas Cranmer
