The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is not inadequate technique, insufficient organization, or antiquated music and those who want to squander the church’s resources bandaging these scratches will do nothing to staunch the flow of blood that is spilling from its wounds. The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is that God rests too inconsequentially upon the church. His truth is too distant, His grace too ordinary, His judgment too benign, His gospel too easy, and His Christ is too common.

Apple Cake 3 to 4 hours To Cook: In a medium-large bowl, sift together the
flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. With two
knives, cut the shortening into the flour until mixture is mealy. Make a
well in the center and drop in the egg and milk. Stir in the flour mixture
to form smooth batter, turn into greased 2-quart mold. Arrange the apples
in rows on top, pushing them halfway into the dough. In a small bowl, mix
the cinnamon, nutmeg and 2 tablespoons sugar. Sprinkle over the apples and
dot with apricot jam. Drizzle butter over all. Place in the slow cooker and
cover loosely with a plate. Cover the cooker, but prop the lid open a
fraction with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus is faithful. Who can you trust so fully?”

We give our hand to every man that loves the Lord Jesus Christ, be he what he may or who he may. The doctrine of election, like the great act of election itself, is intended to divide, not between Israel and Israel, but between Israel and the Egyptians, not between saint and saint, but between saints and children of the world. A man may be evidently of God’s chosen family, and yet though elected, may not believe in the doctrine of election. I hold that there are many savingly called, who do not believe in effectual calling, and that there are a great many who persevere to the end, who do not believe the doctrine of final perseverance. We do hope the hearts of many are a great deal better than their heads. We do not set their fallacies down to any willful opposition to the truth as it is in Jesus but simply to an error in their judgments, which we pray God to correct. We hope that if they think us mistaken too, they will reciprocate the same Christian courtesy; and when we meet around the cross, we hope that we shall ever feel that we are one in Christ Jesus.

C.H. Spurgeon
