We Love God!

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

Today, the pressure to fill auditoriums and services has driven many pastors to place the felt needs, or tastes, of the people above their duty to Christ. On every hand we hear of the Gospel being molded into a non-confrontative message intended to meet felt needs and impress the sinful heart. And, by most standards, this new philosophy of church life is working, as more and more auditoriums are filled with people hungry for a message that will affirm that they are actually on fairly good terms with the Almighty. But the biblical message is the message of the cross. It cuts right across the grain of the modern age's preoccupation with pride, tearing down the façade and exposing the wretchedness of the human heart… Unfortunately, while the modern “un-gospel” may fill seats, it is the true gospel of sin and grace that is “the power of God unto salvation” (Rom. 1:16).
David Hegg

We [wrongly] feel that heaven is bearable, all right, when one has sucked dry all the pleasures of earth. We feel that, only after old age has come upon us, when life is a burden, when health has failed, when we are in the way and our children don't want us, then perhaps we should be resigned to go to Heaven. Subconsciously we look upon heaven as a scrapheap for the worn-out and useless, a kind of old people's home – better than nothing but not as good as this world, with youth, health and prosperity.

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Eggs, Dairy Marie, Desserts, Great, Yeast bread 10 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1/2 lb White bread (bakery bread)
Unsliced
4 oz Butter, melted
6 Eggs
24 oz Milk
8 oz Whipping cream
1/2 lb Sugar
1 c Raisins
Vanilla to taste
2 c Whipping cream
1/2 c Sugar
4 Egg yolks
1 tb Flour
1 tb Vanilla
1/4 ts Salt
2 Scoops vanilla ice cream
Grand Marnier or Brandy to
Taste, if desired

INSTRUCTIONS

VANILLA SAUCE
Cut the bread into 1 inch slices and then into 1 inch squares.  Toast in a
400  oven until nice and golden brown.
Grease the bottom of a casserole (just a little smaller than 9 X 13) and
place the toasted bread equally spread in the casserole.  Drizzle the
butter over the top of the bread squares.
Combine the rest of the pudding ingredients and pour over the bread.
Bake at 350  until the custard is firm.  This will take approximately 45
minutes.
To make a peach bread pudding, place sliced peaches on top before baking.
Vanilla Sauce
Combine the cream and sugar in a pan.  Bring to a boil.  Remove from the
heat.  Beat the yolks, flour, vanilla, and salt.  Stir in a little of the
hot cream to temper.  Add this mixture to the rest of the hot mixture.
Cook, stirring continually (don't overcook) until just thickened.  Remove
and add the ice cream.  Stir until the ice cream is melted.  Strain through
a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
If you like the flavor of brandy or Grand Marnier, add to the custard (to
taste) after it is done.
I like the sauce to be warm when I serve it.
Taken from an episode of Chef du Jour/FTVN.  The chef was from the
Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia.
