Christian, remember how many backers thy evil nature has. As for thy gracious life, it finds few friends beneath the sky; but thine original sin hath allies in every quarter. It looks down to hell, and it finds them there, demons ready to let slip the dogs of hell upon thy soul. It looks out into the world, and sees “the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eye, and the pride of life.” It looks around, and it seeth all kinds of men, seeking, if it be possible, to lead the Christian from his steadfastness. It looks into the Church, and it finds all manner of false doctrine ready to inflame lust, and guide the soul from the sincerity of its faith. It looks to the body, and it finds head, and hand, and foot, and all other members ready to be subservient to sin. I could overcome my evil heart if it had not such a mighty host of allies, but it makes my position doubly dangerous, to have foes without the gates, in league and amity with a foe more vile within.

C.H. Spurgeon

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2	lb	Shin of beef
2	lg	Onions
6	md	Carrots
2	tb	Seasoned flour
		Little fat or beef dripping
1/2	pt	1 cup of Guiness & water
		Mixed
		Sprig of parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

The Guiness in this recipe has the same function as the wine in Coq
Au Vin - the acid & moisture combined with the long, slow cooking
help tenderise the tough but flavoursome meat. Cut the beef into
chunks & peel & slice the onions & carrots. Toss the beef in the
flour & brown quickly in hot fat. Remove the beef & fry the onions
gently until transparent. Return the beef & add the carrots & the
liquid. Bring just to the boil, reduce the heat to a very gentle
simmer, cover closely & cook & cook for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Check that
the dish does not dry out, adding more liquid if necessary. Sprinkle
with chopped parsley & serve with plainly boiled potatoes.

A Message from our Provider:

“Having convictions can be defined as being so thoroughly convinced that Christ and His Word are both objectively true and relationally meaningful that you act on your beliefs regardless of the consequences. #Josh McDowell”

The glorious good news of the gospel is that the sin-devastated relationship between lost sinners and the holy God can be restored. That at first glance seems impossible. God’s perfect, infinite, righteous justice demands the punishment of all who violate His law. Standing before the bar of His justice are helpless, guilty sinners, unable either to satisfy God or to change their condition. But through God’s plan of reconciliation all the hostility, animosity, and alienation separating the Holy One and sinners vanishes, and those who were once His enemies become His friends. The high calling and noble privilege of preaching this message of reconciliation is the most important duty in the world, since it deals with eternal destinations.

John MacArthur
