Pineapple Cream Pie With Coconut Crust

I have tried to say with as much clarity as possible, and often, that the assurance a (child) has that he or she is actually a Christian does not have to do with praying a prescribed prayer, being affirmed by a Christian leader, walking an aisle, signing a card or raising a hand, but whether that person has life from God… What are these signs of life? 1. There is the sign of repenting and believing itself. The dead boy or girl now trusts Christ as his or her only hope for heaven. There is no mixture of trust in self or works or religion, but only in Christ and what He has done and will do. 2. There is a new valuing of the Scriptures. I cannot say this clearly enough. If I am to know you, I will know you principally by your words as you express yourself and communicate your thoughts. God’s Word is His principal communication of Himself. But it is more than just the words themselves that is important in this change. It is the Spirit working in the words that gives understanding and that “knowing” of Christ. Christ said, “It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me” (John 6:45). This is granted – and not to all (Matthew 13:11). 3. There is obedience from the heart. All kids may be taught to obey like Pavlov’s dogs. If there is enough discipline and incentive, any child can straighten up. And, it is right for parents to expect this obedience even from unconverted children. Yet, when a child is made alive there is a new sensitivity to sin and a new and higher motivation and inner compulsion to obey. You will see obedience from the heart as if the child were newly constituted. In fact, he is. I am not saying that he will be perfect, any more than you are. But something has taken place on the inside that is unmistakable.

1	c	Sugar
3		Eggs, separated
1/4	c	Cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  In a mixing bowl combine the graham
cracker crumbs, coconut and melted  butter. Mix well. Press into the
bottom and sides on a nine inch pie  pan. Bake until firm and golden
brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from  the oven and cool completely.
Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. In a saucepan, whisk  the
two cups of milk and sugar together. Place the pan over medium  heat
and bring the liquid up to a simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk  the egg
yolks together. Temper the hot milk into the egg yolks. Whisk  the
tempered egg mixture into the hot milk mixture. In a small bowl,  whisk
the cornstarch into the remaining milk to make a slurry. Whisk  the
slurry into the hot milk mixture. Bring the liquid up to a boil  and
reduce to a simmer. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until  the
filling is thick, about 4 to 6 minutes. Fold in the pineapple,  vanilla
and butter. Mix well. Pour the filling into the prepared pie  crust and
cool the pie completely.  Using an electric mixer with a whip
attachment, whip the egg whites  to soft peaks. Add the remaining sugar
and whip the egg whites to  stiff peaks. Spread the egg whites over the
top of the pie. Place the  pie in the oven and cook for about 3 to 4
minutes, or until the  meringue is golden brown. Slice and garnish with
powdered sugar and  fresh mint.  Yield: 1 pie  Recipe Courtesy of
