We Love God!

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

It might be well if we stopped using the terms “victory” and “defeat” to describe our progress in holiness. Rather we should use the terms “obedience” and “disobedience.” When I say I am defeated by some sin, I am unconsciously slipping out from under my responsibility. I am saying something outside of me has defeated me. But when I say I am disobedient, that places the responsibility for my sin squarely on me. We may, in fact, be defeated, but the reason we are defeated is because we have chosen to disobey.

INSTRUCTIONS

Roll out the pastry and cut out an 18cm (7") diameter circle. Place a
sheet of Teflon Cooking Liner on a baking tray. Prick the pastry
lightly with a fork and place it on the Cooking Liner.  Roughly chop
the pecans and scatter over the pastry.  Leaving the skin on, quarter,
core and thinly slice the apples. Melt  the butter, stir in the lemon
juice and toss the apple slices in the  butter.  Arrange the apple
slices on the pastry in overlapping circles, not  quite to the edge.
Sprinkle with sugar and place in a preheated oven 220Ã¸C, 425Ã¸F, gas
mark 7 for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and the apples
slightly browned at the edges.  Meanwhile whip the cream, fold in the
maple syrup and cinnamon.  Refrigerate until needed.  Serve the apple
tart warm with the flavoured cream.  Converted by MC_Buster.  NOTES :
This dessert uses red skinned Empire apples which have a crisp  white
flesh. Empire apples are also good chopped up in salads or  eaten on
their own. If preferred, you can use this recipe to make  four
individual tarts instead of one large one.  Converted by MM_Buster

A Message from our Provider:

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
