The new birth is very much more than simply shedding a few tears due to a temporary remorse over sin. It is far more than changing our course of life, the leaving off of bad habits and the substituting of good ones. It is something different from the mere cherishing and practicing of noble ideals. It goes infinitely deeper than coming forward to take some popular evangelist by the hand, signing a pledge-card, or 'joining a church.' The new birth is no mere turning over a new leaf, but is the inception and reception of a new life. It is no mere reformation but a complete transformation. In short, the new birth is a miracle, the result of the supernatural operation of God. It is radical, revolutionary, lasting.

This soft yellow bread is reminiscent of your favorite poppy seed muffin,
but versatile enough to take you from breakfast to dessert. Start the day
enjoying it with a touch of sweet butter on a freshly-toasted slice. Savor
with tea in the afternoon.  After dinner, celebrate this winning dessert
bread by topping with slices of cheesy lemon spread. Mmmm!

A Message from our Provider:

“Some minds are like concrete, thy’re roughly mixed up and permanently set.”

Only the truly faithful friend cares enough about you or me to undertake the often thankless task of pointing out where we are wrong. None of us enjoys being confronted with our faults or sins or mistakes, so we often make it difficult for our friends to do so. As a result, most of us are more concerned about speaking agreeableness to each other than about speaking the truth. This is not loyalty. Loyalty speaks the truth in faithfulness, but it also speaks it in love. Loyalty says, “I care enough about you that I will not allow you to continue unchecked in your wrong action or sinful attitude that will ultimately be harmful to you” (Proverbs 27:6).
