Benefits of delighting ourselves in God: 1. Delight in God will prove that you know Him and love Him and that you are prepared for His kingdom, for all who truly delight in Him shall enjoy Him. 2. Prosperity, which is merely the small addition of earthly things, will not easily corrupt you or transport you. 3. Adversity, that is, the withholding of earthly delights, will not much grieve you or easily deject you. 4. You will receive more profit from a sermon or good book or conversation you delight in, than other people, who don’t delight in them, will receive from many such opportunities. 5. All your service will be sweet to yourself and acceptable to God; if you delight in Him, He certainly delights in you (Psalm 149:4; 147:11; 1 Chronicles 29:17). 6. He will have a continual feast with you, to sweeten all the crosses of your life and provide you with joy greater than your sorrow in your saddest condition. 7. When you delight in God, your created pleasures will be sanctified to you and warranted in their proper place, which in other people are idolatrous or corrupt.

Melt chocolate.  Stir till mixed and melted.  Break egg into pot.  Stir
with spatula till mixed. Add sugar slowly stirring. When thick, roll
chocolate into small balls large enough to accomodate an almond and a
cherry in the center of each chocolate ball. Roll in crushed nuts, cocoa or
roasted cocunut.
NOTE:  If you use a larger egg, you may need to alter the amount of icing
sugar.  Play it by ear to see.  Also if the chocolate mixture appears to be
thick enough and you still have sugar left - quit.
To keep working quickly - have bowls of cherries, almonds, cocoa and
cocounut ready.  AuntiFifi (Mimi in Detroit, with whom I had a lovely phone
chat when we were there) suggested keeping ice water ready to dip hands
into so chocolate didn't melt when working with it.

A Message from our Provider:

“If you want to be a leader, you must serve.”

When the solemn and blessed subject of Divine foreordination is expounded, when God’s eternal choice of certain ones to be conformed to the image of His Son is set forth, the Enemy sends along some man to argue that election is based upon the foreknowledge of God, and this “foreknowledge” is interpreted to mean that God foresaw certain ones would be more pliable than others, that they would respond more readily to the strivings of the Spirit, and that because God knew they would believe, He, accordingly, predestinated them unto salvation. But such a statement is radically wrong. It repudiates the truth of total depravity, for it argues that there is something good in some men It takes away the independency of God, for it makes His decrees rest upon what He discovers in the creature It completely turns things upside down, for in saying God foresaw certain sinners would believe in Christ, and that because of this, He predestinated them unto salvation, is the very reverse of the truth. Scripture affirms that God, in His high sovereignty, singled out certain ones to be recipients of His distinguishing favors (Acts 13:48), and therefore He determined to bestow upon them the gift of faith. False theology makes God’s foreknowledge of our believing the cause of His election to salvation; whereas, God’s election is the cause, and our believing in Christ is the effect.
