Almond Crumb Cake Muffins

Where did we ever get this belief that manipulation, arrogance, anger and abrasiveness are effective ways to win people to the Lord? Even if we are persecuted, such an individual is acting in the flesh. Why would we respond in the flesh as well? If we are persecuted for Christ, respond in a way that Christ would respond. Isn’t that common sense. Didn’t our Lord command us to respond to unbelievers with “gentleness and reverence” (1 Peter 3:15)?

INSTRUCTIONS

These are from Muffins A to Z by Marie Simmons  The combination of
chopped almonds and butter crumbs makes these  tender muffins
irresistible.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter 12
muffin cups or  coat with nonstick cooking spray. To make the Topping:
In a small  bowl, combine the almonds, brown sugar and flour. Stir in
the melted  butter; set aside. To make the Batter: Combine the flour,
sugar,  baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; stir until
well  blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk,
melted  butter, eggs and almond extract. Add to the dry ingredients all
at  once and fold just until evenly moistened. Do not overmix. Divide
the  batter evenly among the muffin cups. Press 1 tablespoon of the
topping onto each muffin. Bake until the tops are golden and a
toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes.

In Christ is the yes, the grand consummating affirmative, to all God's promises. He is the horn of salvation raised up for us by God, 'as He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets which have been since the world began' (Luke 24:44). The covenant promises addressed to Abraham and his seed are realized in His single person (Gal. 3:16). To the believer, therefore, Christ is all, not merely as fulfilling a word of the past, but as Himself being the very living Word of God, faithful and eternal. In Him all fullness dwells (Col. 1:19): wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, redemption are to be found in Him alone (1 Cor. 1:30). There is nothing which is not in Him, who is the First and the Last, the Beginning and End (Rev. 22:13).
