Some will say we need to add “good works” to Christ’s work to be saved. Others will say since we are saved by God’s grace and because all of our sins are already forgiven in Christ we can live as we wish. So, the first says following God’s law is necessary to be saved. The other says following God’s law is unnecessary once saved. Both are terribly wrong! We are saved by grace alone, but the grace that saves is never alone. God’s grace will always give us the desire and ability to follow God. The greatest evidence that we are recipients of God’s grace will be seen through our obedience – not to get saved or stay saved, but proof that we truly are already saved.

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Lecithin granules
1/2	tb	Vitamin C powder
1/2	tb	Ginger, ground

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all ingredients and store in tightly closed glass jar.
Add 1 tb dough enhancer with each recipe calling for 2 or 3 cups of flour.
Alternately, double the amount of yeast in the recipe to figure out the
amount of dough enhancer to add. For instance, if your recipe calls for 1/2
tb yeast, add 1 tb dough enhancer.  Stir into dry ingredients. Add wet
ingredients. Start machine.
Apparently, the ginger gooses the yeast and makes it act more swiftly, the
ascorbic acid strengthens the gluten, and the lecithin aids the oil in
causing the strands of gluten to slip against each other more easily and
thus rise better.
THE BREADMACHINE COOKBOOK IV by Donna Rathmell German has a section titled
"Dough Enhancers" and in that section it mentions Lecithin. "Lecithin is a
food supplement which is obtained from oil in egg yolks or soy beans. It
improves moisture and assists in expansion and elasticity of the bread
dough. Add between 1 and 1 1/2 tsp. of lecithin granules per cup of flour."

A Message from our Provider:

“Famous last words: I’ll get right with God later”

When did Christ defeat Satan? Well, it was predicted immediately after the fall in the third chapter of the Bible, when it says Christ will “bruise [Him] on the head” (Gen. 3:15). 1 John 3:8, “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil” (cf. Jn. 12:31). We see this victory ultimately happen through His Passion when our Savior defeated the devil and dealt Him a mortal wound. Hebrews 2:14, “That through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil.” Colossians 2:15, “When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.” And then He, 1 Peter 3:22, ascended to “the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.” The war is over. The mission is completed. Satan is defeated. And while he still, 1 Peter 5:8, “Prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour,” his ultimate defeat is guaranteed. Romans 16:20, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” Revelation 20:10, “And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”
