Almond And Honey Cakes – We Love God!

The intellectual source for the notion that your experience of your father determines your view of the heavenly Father is psychodynamic psychology, not the Bible... In an earlier generation, one of the stock human excuses for unbelief was, “The church is full of hypocrites, so I don’t want anything to do with God.” That was more willful and bitter: “Get lost, God.” The new variant is more self-pitying: “I just can’t seem to trust God.” But the net effect is the same. No cry of “Abba, Father” springs from the heart. “My father didn’t love me, so my self-centeredness, self-pity, and unbelief have an underlying reason. Somebody else caused my problems; somebody else must fix them.”… People change when the Holy Spirit brings the love of God to their hearts through the Gospel. Whoever receives the Spirit of adoption as God’s child learns to cry out, “Abba, Father.” People change when they see that they are responsible for what they believe about God. Life experience is no excuse for believing lies; the world and devil don’t excuse the flesh. People change when biblical truth becomes more loud and vivid than previous life experience. People change when they have ears to hear and eyes to see what God tells us about Himself.

INSTRUCTIONS

(Units: 100 g = 3 1/2 oz; 1 dl = 3 1/2 fl oz = 2/5 cup; 180 oC = 350
oF; 200 oC = 400 oF; 230 oC = 450 oF; 250 oC = 475 oF; 2.5 cm = 1
inch)  Preparation  Pre-heat the oven to 200 oC. Butter and flour a
tart tin with a  removable base 22 cm in diameter.  Roll out the pastry
to fit the tart tin. Line the tin with the pastry  and prick the bottom
all over with a fork. Bake it for 10 minutes at  the bottom of the
pre-heated oven. Leave the pastry shell in the tin.  Cooking  Lightly
brush a thin layer of apricot glaze over the bottom of the  pastry
shell.  Put all the remaining ingredients for the filling into a
saucepan and  heat them gently, stirring to mix them well as they melt.
Raise the oven to 210 oC. When the filling is melted, spread it in a
thin layer on the glazed pastry shell.  Cook it for about 15 minutes:
it is ready when the filling begins to  bubble.  Leave the cake to cool
in its tin, then take it out.  Serving  Cut the cake into little
triangles or rectangular pieces. Serve them  with coffee, like 'petits
fours'.  From: Fredy Girardet, Cuisine spontanee, M Papermac, 1986,

Many wonderful and godly saints have suggested that evangelism is the best and only hope for changing people's minds about abortion. Merely changing someone's mind about abortion (without getting them saved), they argue, does no good in the long run. "They will simply go to hell as a more moral person." While this is true as it applies to the parent, such reasoning wholly neglects the person whose life hangs in the balance, and for this reason, such logic is faulty… If we only rely on evangelism as a means of changing people's minds and behavior concerning abortion, then all those people who do not repent and believe (which is the vast majority) will continue to kill their children en masse. If, however, we also educate young people about what abortion actually is and who unborn humans actually are, then they will be far less likely to abort their children, even if they ultimately reject salvation. The external morality which results will not make a difference for their souls on the Day of Judgment, but it will make a HUGE difference in the lives of their children, children who would have otherwise been destroyed.
