False repentance is grounded in selfishness, rather than the honor of God, because it has nothing to do with the honor of God, and only has to do with the regret that a person has because of the consequence of sin. It's not built on the fear of hell, or the fear of dishonoring God. False repentance also leaves the feelings unchanged. The love of sin is not subdued and the passion for holiness is not initiated. False repentance leads men to hypocritical concealment. Once you've falsely repented, now you've got to keep it up. And so you just lay on one more level of hypocrisy after another to keep up the deception. That leads eventually to self-deception and to a deadly false security where you begin to believe the lie you're living that you wanted originally others to believe and now you've come to believe it, and that is that you really are God's when in fact you're not. And that hardens your heart. Each time shallow sorrow washes over the emotions of the heart, and doesn't truly break that heart, the fountains of feeling are more and more dried up. And then the conscience is seared and then you're irretrievable.

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Whipping cream
3/4	c	Sugar; (this is a personal decision of sweetness) (up to 1)
4		Eggs; separated
		Flavoring

INSTRUCTIONS

Whip the cream until stiff. Add the sugar and continue whipping. Add the 4
egg yolks, one at a time. Then add in your flavoring (more about that in a
minute).
Whip the 4 egg whites until stiff. Slowly fold the whites into the
cream/yolk mixture until completely blended. Turn into your favorite
freezerware and freeze for several hours.
Flavorings can be pureed fruit, melted chocolate, liquors (a hit with
adults, but just keep in mind that the more alchohol you put in the stuff
the softer it will freeze.
Some of our favorite flavorings are:
Pureed strawberries Vanilla instant pudding (this makes a gelato-like ice
cream) Cointreau and chocolate shavings Chocolate chips and almond slivers
Lots and lots of melted chocolate
See, I told you this was a simple recipe, and you don't even need to buy an
expensive ice cream maker.
One additional note -- I usually use 1 cup of non-dairy whipping cream,
usually Rich Whip. You can't taste the difference and for those who don't
eat dairy it's a great boon.

A Message from our Provider:

“Tired of empty promises? God’s word never fails!”

It might be well if we stopped using the terms “victory” and “defeat” to describe our progress in holiness. Rather we should use the terms “obedience” and “disobedience.” When I say I am defeated by some sin, I am unconsciously slipping out from under my responsibility. I am saying something outside of me has defeated me. But when I say I am disobedient, that places the responsibility for my sin squarely on me. We may, in fact, be defeated, but the reason we are defeated is because we have chosen to disobey.
