[The resurrection of the body] is the Christian’s brightest hope. Many believers make a mistake when they long to die and long for Heaven. Those things may be desirable, but they are not the ultimate for the saints. The saints in Heaven are perfectly free from sin and, so far as they are capable of it, are perfectly happy. But a disembodied spirit never can be perfect until it is reunited to its body. God made man not pure spirit but body and spirit, and the spirit alone will never be content until it sees its physical frame raised to its own condition of holiness and glory. Think not that our longings here below are not shared in by the saints in Heaven. They do not groan so far as any pain can be, but they long with greater intensity than you and I for the 'adoption...the redemption of our bodies.' People have said there is no faith in Heaven, and no hope. They know not what they say - in Heaven faith and hope have their fullest swing and their brightest sphere, for glorified saints believe in God’s promise and hope for the resurrection of the body.

INGREDIENTS

1	pk	"Jiffy" pizza crust mix
1	cn	Can Hunt's Classic Italian Spaghetti Sauce with Garlic & Herb 27 oz
		Gallo dry salami
1	cn	Sliced mushrooms stems and pieces small can
1	cn	Black olives
2	lb	Mozzerella
1	lb	Cheddar

INSTRUCTIONS

It takes about 1/3 to 1/2 the can of sauce, and maybe half the mozzerella.
Make the pizza crust as directed on the box.  While it is standing for the
5 minutes, grate the mozzerella, about 1/4 the cheddar, and grease the pan.
(I use a cookie sheet, which the $.45 crust just covers.) Spread the crust,
pour on the sauce, spread the sauce with a handy fork. Dump the cheese on
and spread it around. The cheddar adds just a bit of flavor, while the
mozzerella takes care of the texture. Frankly, I like provolone better, but
it's just not traditional. Place the salami close together and overlapping.
Sprinkle mushrooms over the top, and break olives in two. Use the whole can

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: the human face of God”

[People often say], “Christ’s atonement was sufficient for all, but efficient only for some.” What does this mean? The Calvinist would interpret this axiom to mean that the value of Christ’s sacrifice is so high, His merit so extensive, that its worth is equal to cover all the sins of the human race. But the atonement’s benefits are only effective for believer’s, the elect. The non-Calvinistic interprets this axiom in slightly different terms: Christ’s atonement was good enough to save everyone – and was intended to make salvation possible for everyone. But that intent is realized only by believers. The atonement is efficient [or “works”] only for those who receive its benefits by faith.
