In Philippians 3, Paul explained how his “righteous merit” exceeded any on the planet. If anyone could have earned heaven it would have been him. Yet Paul knew we can never earn God’s favor. The only hope we have is the righteousness of Jesus Christ given to us as a gift when we embrace Him by faith. Though the specifics are different, the boasts are the same: I was born in America. I grew up in a devout Christian family. I was baptized. I read my Bible and pray every morning. I faithfully attend church. I serve in the church. I participate in the Lord’s Supper each month. I am blameless in my obedience to the Scriptures. All of these are excellent, but when we use them to earn God’s saving favor, they are but “rubbish.”

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Spray four 1 1/2 cup souffle dishes with
nonstick cooking spray.
In a food processor, puree the bananas with the lemon juice, Poire William
and vanilla until smooth. Add the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon of the sugar;
process to blend thoroughly. Scrape the banana base into a medium bowl.
In a mixer bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar at high speed
until stiff peaks form. With the mixer on, sprinkle on the remaining 3
tablespoons sugar and continue beating until the whites are glossy. Fold
the egg whites into the banana base.
Spoon into the prepared dishes; the mixture will mount to the top. Run your
thumb around the inside rims to form a 1/4-inch groove in the mixture; this
will help the souffles rise evenly.
Set the dishes on a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to
425 degrees and bake for 7 minutes longer, or until puffed and browned.
Spoon a little raspberry sauce on top and serve immediately.
