The “Word” is the eternal name for the young Child of Bethlehem. He is so called because He is the revealer of the Father, the exponent of Godhead. He is so now; He was so in the days of his flesh; He has been so from eternity. The names Christ, Immanuel, Jesus, are His earthly ones; His names in time connected with His incarnate condition; but the names “Word” and “Son” are expressive of His eternal standing, His eternal relationship to the Father. What He was in time and on earth, that same He has been in heaven and from eternity. The glory which He had 'before the world was' (John 17:5), and of which He “emptied himself” (Phil. 2:7), was the glory of the eternal Word, the everlasting Son. As the eternal revealer of Godhead, the “brightness of Jehovah's glory, and the express image of His person,” His name ever was THE WORD; as the declarer of the mind of God to man, His name is no less THE WORD, with this addition, “the Word made flesh.”

3/4	c	Dextrose (priming)

INSTRUCTIONS

Baked  all  hops for 1 hour at 300 degrees and left 3 days in  the  open
air. Mash grains and flaked wheat in 14 quarts of 130 degree water  with 1
tsp gypsum added, for 5 minutes. Protein rest for 20 minutes  at  140
degrees.  Starch conversion for 60 minutes at 158-155 degrees. Mash  out 10
minutes at 170 degrees. Sparge with 170 degree water. Boil  2  hours with
hops added near the beginning. Cool. Pitch yeast After 12  days  I pitched
the  Pediococcus. I have to admit, I didn't much care  for  the taste of
either the beer or the starter solution. It only took about  10 days (and
some premature hot weather) to produce decided ropiness, so  I pitched the
Brettanomyces. Marvelous! Crystal clear, with a pale amber color. A
marvelous  fruity aroma, with a distinctive Brettanomyces tang. Sour, but
not  excessively so, nutty, fruity, with a sort of "old leather" note.
Apple-like finish. Original Gravity: 1.056 Final Gravity: 1.015 Primary
Ferment: 12 days Secondary Ferment: 9 months

A Message from our Provider:

“You can spurn God’s love for only so long”

So what did the Holy Spirit intend by His command not to be bound together with unbelievers? Bound together translates a participial form of the verb heterozugeo, which means, “to be unequally yoked.” Paul drew his analogy from Deuteronomy 22:10, where the Mosaic Law commanded the Israelites, “You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.” Those two animals do not have the same nature, gait, or strength. Therefore it would be impossible for such a mismatched pair to plow together effectively. Nothing in the context would lead to the idea that he is referring to earthy issues of human endeavors. In Paul’s analogy, believers and unbelievers are two different breeds and cannot work together in the spiritual realm. He called for separation in matters of the work of God, since such cooperation for spiritual benefit is impossible. The false teachers were eager to blend the people of God with the pagan worshipers, because that hinders the gospel. That is what this text forbids.
