Hardly anyone experiences the crush of real guilt! We have failed to see that what usually passes for guilt is in fact just more sin, because it is the bad feeling we have, not from our failure to trust God’s promises but from our failure to preserve our image as cool, self-sufficient people. Most of what passes for guilt feelings is an expression of pride. We do something impulsive that hurts someone and feel remorse. But does our remorse come from a deep spiritual grief that we have despised God by not trusting His promises and not waiting for His wisdom and help? Or does it more often come from the fact that we did not preserve our image as cool and self-sufficient? Real guilt is very rare!

been used up.  Mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until the mixture is
well blended.  Add vanilla and anise flavor.  Turn into well greased and
lightly floured long narrow baking tins.  Bake in a preheated 375F oven

Recipe By     : The Complete Bread Cookbook
NOTES : This is very OLD European recipe was a gift to us from a famous
chef.
The bread is lightly flavored, crisp and sweet.  Uniquely
delicate, it
is an excellent "dunker," served with steaming hot coffee or spice
tea.
The ladies often dipped the sliced Vienna bread i cognac or sweet
wine
- --the very nicest way imaginable of having your cake and eating
it too!

A Message from our Provider:

“When God ordains, He sustains.”

Special significance of the creation of male and female in the image of God: 1. It is only after God has created man that He says of all He has made: it is “very good” (1:31). This is not simply because God’s creative task is finished but because mankind is the pinnacle of all He has made. 2. The creation of man is introduced differently than other products of creative work, with the personal and deliberative expression, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.” 3. The one God who creates man as male and female deliberately uses plural references of himself (e.g., “Let Us,” “Our image,” “Our likeness”) as the creator of singular “man” who is plural “male and female.” 4. The “image of God” is stated three times in 1:26-27 in relation to man as male and female but never in relation to any other part of creation (are angels created in the image of God?). 5. The special term for God’s unique creative action, bara, is used three times in 1:27 for the creation of man in His image as male and female. 6. Man is given a place of dominion over all other created beings on the earth, thus indicating the higher authority and priority of man in God’s created design. 7. Only the creation of man as male and female is expanded and portrayed in detail as recorded in Gen. 2.
