God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Reasons Why People Lack Assurance: 1. People often lack assurance because they cannot remember or point to a specific time when they received Christ. Some doubt or wonder if they were ever really saved. There is a specific point in time when salvation occurs – the point when regeneration takes place. The issue for people is to know if they now really trust in the person and work of Christ. 2. People often lack assurance because they question the procedure they went through when they accepted Christ. Many evangelists and preachers emphasize the need for some form of public confession of faith like going forward at the end of a service or raising your hand. If people receive Christ privately, they may wonder if they should have made a public confession or prayed a different prayer. 3. People often lack assurance because of struggles they have with certain sins. They wonder if a true believer would have these kinds of problems. The real problem is ignorance of man’s sinful nature, the spiritual warfare we are in, God’s means of deliverance, and the need to grow and mature in Christ. 4. The primary reason behind a lack of assurance is doctrinal misunderstanding and the consequent lack of faith in the finished work of Christ. This means a failure to understand the Word and its teaching regarding mankind, his sin and inability to work for or maintain his salvation, God’s perfect holiness, and the finished nature and sufficiency of the work of Christ. 5. Finally, people often lack assurance because they have erroneously been taught that they should look to themselves and their works as the primary proof of their salvation. This is a major issue today.

One accurate way to describe abortion is subtle infanticide. That is: child-killing done in a way that the people don’t recognize it as child-killing. That reality is why the word abortion exists. Some words are created to cloak reality the same way procedures are created to cloak reality. “Abortion” is cloaked child-killing

    Meats, Grains, Dairy Meats, Usenet 4 Servings

    INGREDIENTS

    4 Pork chops, about 1/2 inch
    Shortening or oil
    4 Onion slices (we like these fairly thick)
    1/4 c Peanut butter
    1/4 c Milk
    3/4 c Mushroom soup, condensed (or make a mushroom- flavored white sauce)
    1 ts Worcestershire sauce
    1 ts Salt
    1/8 ts Black pepper

    INSTRUCTIONS

    In a frying pan big enough to hold all of the chops at once, brown pork
chops on both sides in a little shortening or oil. Pour off fat, leaving
chops in frying pan. Place an onion slice on top of each chop.
Mix peanut butter, mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt and
pepper. Pour over chops. Cover and simmer over medium to low heat for 45
minutes. You may want to move the chops around in the pan from time to time
to keep them from sticking.
Smooth peanut butter is best.  The chunky variety gives a strange
consistency to this dish.
  NOTES:
*  Pork chops in mushroom peanut-butter sauce -- I originally found this
recipe in the "Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery." It is very easy to
prepare and makes a hearty main dish served over rice or noodles.
: Difficulty:  easy.
