God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The benefits [the Lord’s Supper] confers, are spiritual, not physical. Its effects must be looked for in our inward man. It was intended to remind us, by the visible, tangible emblems of bread and wine, that the offering of Christ’s body and blood for us on the cross, is the only atonement for sin, and the life of a believer’s soul. It was meant to help our poor weak faith to closer fellowship with our crucified Savior, and to assist us in spiritually feeding on Christ’s body and blood. It is an ordinance for redeemed sinners, and not for unfallen angels. By receiving it we publicly declare our sense of guilt, and need of a Savior – our trust in Jesus, and our love to Him – our desire to live upon Him, and our hope to live with Him. Using it in this spirit, we shall find our repentance deepened, our faith increased, our hope brightened, and our love enlarged – our besetting sins weakened, and our graces strengthened. It will draw us nearer to Christ.

INSTRUCTIONS
(Adapted from Hodgson Mill wheat bran box)
"These muffins are mixed, stored in the refirigerator and baked whenever
they are wanted. When preparing to back, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir
batter weel and spoon into buttered muffin tins, filling 2/3 full. Bake
20-22 minutes and serve. You can make 2 muffins or enough for a large
family."
Combine 1 C bran and 1 C boiling water, stir and let steep. In a separate
bowl, cream sugar and butter. Beat eggs. Combine the flour, soda and salt.
Combine the 1 C of steeped bran with remaining 2 C of bran, the eggs, flour
mixture and buttermilk, butter and sugar. Mix. Store in tightly covered
container (non-metallic). Let stand at least 12 hours before baking. Batter
will keep in refrigerator for 6 weeks. Chemical action will cause the
batter to turn dark on top. No problem, just stir before using.
Note: I never had enough batter around to last more than 2 or 3 days. Six
weeks seems mighty long to me. But these are delicious!
