The Gospel contemplates every descendant of Adam as a fallen, polluted, hell-deserving and helpless sinner. The grace which the Gospel publishes is his only hope. All stand before God convicted as transgressors of His holy law, as guilty and condemned criminals, who are not merely awaiting sentence, but the execution of sentence already passed upon them (John 3:18; Rom. 3:19). To complain against the partiality of grace is suicidal. If the sinner insists upon bare justice, then the Lake of Fire must be his eternal portion. His only hope lies in bowing to the sentence which Divine justice has passed upon him, owning the absolute righteousness of it, casting himself on the mercy of God, and stretching forth empty hands to avail himself of the grace of God now made known to him in the Gospel.

INSTRUCTIONS

Just got back from the Disney Institute again and as always, I had a
marvelous time. You guys have got to go! I took: Imagineering!, Radio
Drama, Outdoor Photography, Celebrations!, Boxing Aerobics, Animation
Sampler, Romantic Dinners, Canoe Adventures and Taste of the Word: Bayou.
Celebrations: Holiday Brunch: Celebrations is a class that shows you how to
have a dining event that not only tastes good and looks good but is
generally enjoyable. Fitting with the holiday season, we worked on a
holiday brunch. Aside from these recipes, we learned about table
presentation, planning and tricks to make the event memorable. We also
created several types of food related decorations.
In a large bowl combine all the ingredients. Tie 1-tablespoon batches of
the mix in cheese cloth or muslin bags and tie with string. As decoration,
you can tie a stick of cinnamon to the outside of the bag. One bag makes
enough to flavor 1 quart of cider.
To make mulled cider, put the bag in a pot with 1 quart of cider. Bring to
a slow boil and simmer for 20 minutes, covered. A 1/4 cup of rum may be
added to spice it up a bit more.

A Message from our Provider:

“Actions DO speak louder than words. Do Jesus’?”

We must always insist that there is nothing we can do of ourselves to merit salvation. Salvation is “by grace…through faith” (Eph. 2:8). But when we accept His gift of salvation by faith we must know what this gift includes. We must know that it includes following Jesus as Lord. Otherwise people will think they have been tricked into accepting a way without being told what that way is. It is the grace of God that enables us to follow this way. It is all of grace. But it is a way in which sin is left behind and a righteous life is taken on. And when people accept that salvation that Christ offers, they must know that this is what they are accepting. Otherwise they would not be putting their faith in the Jesus of the Bible.
