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

Many of the pulpiteers of the past fifty years acted as though the first and last object of their calling was the salvation of souls, everything being made to bend to that aim. In consequence, the feeding of the sheep, the maintaining of a Scriptural discipline in the church, and the inculcation of practical piety, was crowded out; and only too often all sorts of worldly devices and fleshly methods were employed under the plea that the end justified the means; and thus the churches were filled with unregenerate members. In reality, such men defeated their own aim. The hard heart must be ploughed and harrowed before it can be receptive to the gospel seed. Doctrinal instruction must be given on the character of God, the requirements of his Law, the nature and heinousness of sin, if a foundation is to be laid for true evangelism. It is useless to preach Christ unto souls until they see and feel their desperate need of him.

A.W. Pink

What are we to think of a passage like Romans 1:26-27? The Bible defines homosexual desires as “contrary to nature,” not an equal alternative orientation. Homosexuality is a “dishonorable passion” that “consumes” men and women, leading to shameless behavior. The strong emotional pull of lust and the affections shared between persons in a homosexual relationship – whatever those affections may be called – cannot properly be called “love.” After all, love “does not rejoice at wrongdoing” (1 Cor. 13:6) and homosexuality is wrongdoing.

Almond Cookie Shells for Ice Cream

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Eggs, Dairy	Niger	Toohot01	1	servings

INGREDIENTS

1	tb	Soft butter; mixed with
1	tb	Flour; for coating pan
2		Egg whites
1/4	c	Milk
1	ts	Vanilla extract
1/8	ts	Salt
4	tb	Unsalted butter – (1/2 stick); melted
1	c	Confectioners' sugar; sifted
3/4	c	All-purpose flour; sifted
3/4	c	Sliced almonds

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine the tablespoon each butter and
flour to make a paste. Spread some over a cookie sheet and set aside.
Combine egg whites, milk, vanilla and salt and let sit until room
temperature. (You can speed the process by slightly warming mixture
over a pan of hot water.) Add melted butter to egg white mixture.
Whisk in sugar until evenly blended. Add flour and whisk until
smooth. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons batter per cookie onto prepared
cookie sheet. Allow six inches for spreading; each sheet will hold 3
cookies. With a spatula, spread each blob of batter out to form a
thin 5-inch circle, leaving about an inch between cookies. Scatter
some almonds over batter. Bake about three to five minutes, until
lightly golden all over. Slide a long spatula under each cookie,
carefully lift off and immediately place cookie over an inverted
coffee cup or custard cup. Cover with a dry cloth and press down to
mold into a fluted shell. Repeat with other cookies. Shells will
stiffen in 1 to 2 minutes. Recoat baking sheet and repeat spreading,
baking, and molding process until all cookies are baked. Serve
immediately or store in airtight tins.
Comments: It takes some practice to get the knack of molding these
thin, crisp cookies. They make a delightful "bowl" for ice cream or
sorbets. These cookies can also be cooled curved over a rolling pin
for tuiles, or tile-shaped cookies.
