The flesh is the old life, the natural life inherited from Adam, with its apparent resources of personality, of ancestry, of commitment, of dedication, and so forth. You can do all kinds of religious things in the flesh. The flesh can preach a sermon. The flesh can sing in the choir. The flesh can act as an usher. The flesh can lead people to Christ. Did you know that? The flesh can go out and be very zealous in its witnessing and amass a terribly impressive list of people won to Christ, scalps to hang on a belt. The flesh can do these things but it is absolutely nauseating in the eyes of God. It is merely religious activity. There is nothing wrong with what is being done, but what is terribly wrong is the power being relied upon to do it (Ray Stedman).
In a food processor, grind the almonds to a powder by pulsing off and on to
keep the powder loose. Mix the almonds with the powdered sugar and flour.
In a separate a bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually beat in
the granulated sugar until stiff. Fold in the lemon zest and almond
extract. Pipe the mixture with a pastry bag using a round 1/4-inch tip into
1 1/2-inch rounds onto baking sheets lined with lightly buttered waxed
paper or parchment. Bake in a preheated 275-degree oven for 1 hour,
checking to make sure the amaretti don't brown. Turn off the oven and let
the amaretti dry out for an additional hour--they should be very crisp.
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
