God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
It is the forces of darkness using the human agents of this world. People have been fed and are entrapped in a stronghold of lies. Christians are called to break down these spiritual strongholds with a spiritual arsenal. Our battleground is the mind. The Bible, which is all about Christ (Lk. 24:27, 44), is our primary “divinely powerful” (2 Cor. 10:4) weapon to bring people to “captive to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5) to be “rescued…from the domain of darkness, and transferred…to the kingdom of [light] (Col. 1:13).
“Sinner” is a present-tense description of everyone, including those who have put their faith in Christ. Of course, those who have called Jesus “Lord” are justified, meaning that they are no longer guilty. Also, they have been given the Spirit, which makes them slaves to Christ rather than to sin. But we all are sinners. Perfection awaits eternity.
1. Toast the almonds and set aside.
2. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Chill for at least
3. Form the cream cheese mixture into the shape of a pinecone. Beginning at
the bottom,, gently press the almonds in rows across the pinecone shape.
Continue the rows until the whole shape is covered, and resembles a
pinecone. Either eat immediately or refrigerate. Allow to come up to room
temperature before serving. Garnish with greens.
NOTES : A marble board works well for this as it will hold the cool
temperature longer than a plate. If fresh greens are used be careful that
they are not poisonous.

A Message from our Provider:
“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
