What skill doth every part of our work require! – and of how much moment is every part! To preach a sermon, I think, is not the hardest part; and yet what skill is necessary to make the truth plain; to convince the hearers, to let irresistible light in to their consciences, and to keep it there, and drive all home; to screw the truth into their minds, and work Christ into their affections; to meet every objection, and clearly to resolve it; to drive sinners to a stand, and make them see that there is no hope, but that they must unavoidably either be converted or condemned – and to do all this, as regards language and manner, as beseems our work, and yet as is most suitable to the capacities of our hearers. This, and a great deal more that should be done in every sermon, must surely require a great deal of holy skill.

INSTRUCTIONS

Stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, chili powder,
cumin, and cayenne in a medium-size bowl.
Beat the milk with the egg yolk, and add it to the dry ingredients, mixing
well.
Stir in the beans, cheese, corn, cilantro, red pepper, and green chilies.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff.
Gently fold them into the batter,
Heat the 1/2 cup oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  (Test the
heat by dropping a bit of batter into the oil; it should immediately sizzle
and rise to the top.)
Spoon in about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter, making three or four at
a time.  Fry until golden brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.  Turn and fry
until golden brown on the other side, and drain on paper towels. Fry the
rest of the batter in batches.
Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side.
Fritters are best served hot and crispy, right out of the pan.
4 or 5 servings (about 15 fritters)

A Message from our Provider:

“No one understands like Jesus”

For Jesus, time alone with God was not an option… The gospel of Luke tells us that “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” (Lk. 5:16)… This is precisely where you and I so often miss out on all that God has for us. Unlike Jesus, we attempt to live life in our own energy. We think we can keep giving out without getting replenished. Then, wearied and weakened by the demands of life and ministry, we become impatient and annoyed with the very ones God has sent us to serve. Rather than exhibiting a gracious, calm, joyous spirit, we become uptight, frazzled, and frenzied (people), resenting, rather than welcoming, the people and opportunities God brings into our lives.
