We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

A measure of trials is necessary for the exercise and manifestation of your graces; to give you a more convincing proof of the truth and sweetness of the promises made to a time of affliction; to mortify the body of sin; and to wean you more effectually from the world.
John Newton

If we are coming to church only as consumers, to get our own needs met, then we have missed the point of the church. We are not merely intended to get our needs met. We are intended to be part of God’s plan for drawing other people to Himself, for encouraging and building up those who are already His children. Each member is not simply intended to be a consumer. We are all intended to be providers. We are colaborers with God Himself in the work of the Gospel (1 Cor. 3:9)! Some of us may well be introverted or less talkative. But none of us are designed merely to be ministered to, as if the whole church revolved around our own felt needs and desires. We are all called to “stimulate one another to love and good deeds” and to “bear one another’s burdens” (Heb. 10:24; Gal. 6:2) (Mark Dever and Paul Alexander).

CATEGORY CUISINE TAG YIELD
Dairy, Fruits 1 Servings

INGREDIENTS

1/4 c Soft butter or margarine
1/2 c Sugar
1 c Unsifted regular all-purpose flour
2 ts Baking powder
1/8 ts Salt
1/2 c Milk
1 cn (1-lb) fruit, cut in small pieces, or berries or fresh cooked fruit to equal 1 lb.
Sugar to taste (for topping)

INSTRUCTIONS

Cream butter and sugar until smooth and well blended.  Sift the flour with
baking powder and salt.  Add flour mixture a little at a time alternately
with the milk, beating just until the thick batter is smooth.  Spread the
batter evenly in a greased 9-inch square baking pan (it will rise to the
top while baking).
Pour berries or fruit and their liquid over batter.  Sprinkle with sugar to
taste.  Bake in 350 deg. oven for about 1 hour or until crust is golden
brown.
I live in wild blackberry country (Hi, Dot) so that's what we use.  We also
put a little cinnamon in the sugar.  You just spread the berries over the
top of the batter and the batter rises up around it and the berries sink.
We also triple the recipe (teenage boys).  Oh - I don't sift either - just
stir well.
