At this time in American history, (this) is one of the most powerful sentences a person can speak: “I do not want a child at this time.” It's powerful, because in a world without God, and without submission to His will, the will – the “want” – of a mother has become the will of a god. I say it carefully and calmly and sadly: Our modern, secular, God-dethroning culture has endowed the will (the “want”) of a mother not just with sovereignty over her child, but with something vastly greater. We have endowed her will with the right and the power to create human personhood. When God is no longer the Creator of human personhood, endowing it with dignity and rights in His own image, we must take that role for Him, and we have vested it in the will of the mother. She creates personhood.

1. Preheat over to 250 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan
and set aside.
2. Prep work: Carefully separate eggs and set bowls aside. Chop the
chocolate into small pieces and melt with the butter in the top of a double
boiler over hot, not boiling, water. When the chocolate is melted, remove
the pot from the heat and cool to room temperature. (Be sure the mixture is
smooth by stirring frequently.)
3. Beat the whites until foamy. Slowly add the sugar and beat until stiff.
Mix yolks with a whisk and then stir into the chocolate mixture. Add the
whites to the chocolate mixture and fold in carefully. Pour the batter into
the prepared pan and smooth the top.
4. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
5. Cool cake in the pan. Remove the sides. Just before serving, sprinkle
top with powdered sugar. (This cake can be frozen if wrapped well, first in
plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil.)
NOTE: Having few ingredients other than chocolate, this cake is excellent
for comparing brands of chocolate. Nestle's, Burgundy, Guittard French
Vanilla, Ghirardelli Queen, Lindt Excellence, Carma Bourbon-Vanilla, and
Callebaut Semisweet are high-quality brands. Posted to Kitmailbox Digest by

A Message from our Provider:

“Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.”

We are not encouraged to forsake our sin by having our senses amused or our preferences coddled. The Gospel is inherently and irreducibly confrontational. It cuts against our perceived righteousness and self-sufficiency, demanding that we forsake cherished sin and trust in someone else to justify us. Entertainment is therefore a problematic medium for communicating the Gospel, because it nearly always obscures the most difficult aspects of it – the cost of repentance, the cross of discipleship, the narrowness of the Way. Some will disagree, arguing that drama can give unbelievers a helpful visual image of the Gospel. But we have already been given such visual images. They are the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper and the transformed lives of our Christian brothers and sisters (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).
