If Christ is, to us, only our substitute to admire and not also our example to follow, we will not rouse ourselves to do hard things in obedience to Him. That will be spiritually deadening in the long run. If Christ is, to us, only our example to follow and not first our substitute to admire, we will not lean on Him as our savior and be freed from ourselves. That too is spiritually deadening in the long run. We can get it wrong and still thrive for a while. But in the long run, only a well-proportioned theology can keep us spiritually alive.

INGREDIENTS

1/4	lb	Very fine egg noodles
1	lg	Egg; beaten lightly
3/4	ts	Caraway seeds
1	tb	Vegetable oil
1 1/2	ts	Unsalted butter

INSTRUCTIONS

In a saucepan of boiling salted water boil the noodles until they are al
dente and drain them well. In a bowl toss the noodles with the egg and the
caraway seeds until they are coated well. In a small non-stick skillet heat
the oil and the butter until the foam subsides, add 1/2 cup of the noodle
mixture, and form it into a pancake 4 inches in diameter, tidying the edges
with a spatula. Cook the pancake over moderately high heat for 2 minutes,
or until the underside is golden, turn it, and cook it for 2 minutes more.
Slide the pancake onto a plate and keep it warm. Make pancakes with the
remaining noodle mixture in the same manner.
Serves 2.

A Message from our Provider:

“God is glorified by a thankful heart.”

In the process of striving to fulfill our needs and satisfy our desires, the church has slipped into a philosophy of “Christian humanism” that is flawed with self-love, self-esteem, self-fulfillment, and self-glory. There appears to be scant concern about worshiping our glorious God on His terms. So-called worship seems little more than some liturgy (high or low) equated with stained-glass windows, organ music, or emotion-filled songs and prayers. If the bulletin didn’t say “Worship Service,” maybe we wouldn’t know what we were supposed to be doing. And that reflects the absence of a worshiping life- of which a Sunday service is to be only a corporate overflow.
