If the will were able to make decisions contrary to reason, and to the likes and desires of the heart, it would be a monster… This is most profoundly true in the moral and religious realms. When the mind is at war with God, denying His truth; when the emotions hate Christ His Son; when the desires wish God's law and gospel were exterminated from the earth; the will cannot be in a position to choose Christ. If it were, a man would not be truly free to be himself. Here is the tragic truth about man's will. While free from outward coercion, it is in a state of bondage. It is not in a stated neutrality. It is not a lever with which to move a man's personality from sin to righteousness, from unbelief to faith.

INGREDIENTS

1/2	ts	Dried yeast
1/4	c	Warm water
1	c	Water at room temperature
2 1/4	c	Golden durum flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Stir the yeast into the warm water in a large bowl & let proof for 10
minutes.  Add the rest of the water & the flour 1 c at a time, mixing
vigorously after each addition. Continue to mix for about 6 minutes. The
mixture will clear the sides of the bowl but remain soft & sticky. Cover
with plastic wrap & leave to rise at room temperature for 24 hours. The
starter will triple in volume & then collapse a little. Cover & refrigerate
until ready to use. To use the biga, scoop out the needed amount while it
is still cold & hasn't begun to grow & expand at room temperature. NOTE:
Ensure that you use golden durum flour & not durum integrale which contains
the whole husk of the wheat berry & is not right for this recipe.
