Yes, we are promised trouble in the world. Yes, we are not always guaranteed deliverance from our enemies. But we are promised sufficient grace to sustain our soul during all afflictions. And we have the Holy Spirit to give us joy and peace and wisdom and hope during all our afflictions. We have His word that regardless of what happens to us that everything will ultimately turn out for our greatest good. We know our trials are in His hands – hands that are good, loving, wise and sovereign. And when our assigned time on this earth is done we have promises far clearer than anything King David even experienced. We have the hope of being with Him in Paradise for all of eternity.

INGREDIENTS

2	c	Warm milk
1	c	Wheat bran cereal (All-Bran, Fiber 1, or 100% Bran)
1/2	c	Warm water
2	tb	Yeast
1/3	c	Honey
2	tb	Olive oil or vegetable oil
2	ts	Salt
1/2	c	Cracked wheat
3	c	Whole wheat flour
2 1/2	c	To 3 1/2 c bread flour (or all purpose flour)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, add wheat bran cereal to milk and soak 15-30 minutes.
Proof yeast in warm water.
Add yeast mixture, honey, olive oil, salt, and cracked wheat to milk
mixture and mix well. Add the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, mixing
well after each addition. Then add bread flour 1/2 c at a time, mixing well
after each addition. When dough gets very stiff, turn out onto a
well-floured surface and knead in enough remaining flour to make a good
soft dough.
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise
until doubled. Punch down, divide in half, and form each half into a loaf
and place in a 8.5x4.5 inch or 9x5 inch bread pan and cover. Let rise until
doubled in bulk.
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes, remove from pans and
continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes until bread sounds hollow on
bottom. May need to cover tops with aluminum foil during final 10-15
minutes of baking if top is browning too much. Let cool on racks before
slicing.

A Message from our Provider:

“God is waiting for you”

Mixed marriages violate the nature of the intimate relationship that marriage creates. Marriage creates a family and God’s people are to serve Him in their families. Families are the primary unit of spiritual nurture in the covenant of God because they are the instrument by which and the setting in which children are not only born but raised. Families have a great deal to do, in the economy of God’s grace, with the transmission of the faith from one generation to another. They must because of the nature of the relationship between parents and children: the intimacy, the constancy, the dependence, the trust, the example, the instruction that happens in a family and, especially, in a godly family. To take an unbeliever to wife, to bring into that family circle, in the key role of wife and mother, a woman who does not love God or know his salvation, who does not reverence his Word and law, is to violate the very purpose of a family and render it incapable of being and doing what it has been created for... He made the family, the godly family the instrument of his grace in the children’s lives. But a spiritually mixed marriage injects poison into the children’s milk.
