After the fall into sin, people remained image-bearers, but Adam’s disobedience brought fundamental changes to our ability to reflect God’s image. The direction of the human heart became oriented not toward God but toward self. In the garden, man began repeating a mantra that will persist until Jesus returns. Adam said, “I want.” “I want glory for myself rather than giving all glory to God.” “I love my own desire rather than loving God.” This came to be known as covetousness, lust, or idolatry.

We know that the apple seeds brought from England were intended for this
very dish. Apple cobbler goes back to the time of the Pilgrims, and since
it is so easy to make you should offer this bit of edible history to your
family very soon.
Heat a frying pan and add the 3 tablespoons butter. Put the apples and
raisins in the pan and saut. for a few minutes over medium heat until they
are tender. Add 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the spices. Stir and set aside.
Pour the melted butter into a 7x11x2-inch baking dish. Mix the remaining
cup of sugar with the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and then
stir in the milk. Spread this batter on top of the butter.
Pour the apple mixture over the batter and bake in a 350&deg; oven for about
50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Serve this warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus Christ: the name on everybody’s lips”

That none of you can be pastors without the loving consent of the flock; and therefore this will be to you a practical indicator if not a correct one. If your call from the Lord be a real one you will not long be silent. As surely as the man wants his hour, so surely the hour wants its man. The church of God is always urgently in need of living ministers; to her a man is always more precious than the gold of Ophir. Formal officials do lack and suffer hunger, but the anointed of the Lord need never be without a charge, for there are quick ears which will know them by their speech, and ready hearts to welcome them to their appointed place. Be fit for your work, and you will never be out of it. Do not run about inviting yourselves to preach here and there; be more concerned about your ability than your opportunity, and more earnest about your walk with God than about either. The sheep will know the God-sent shepherd; the porter of the fold will open to you, and the flock will know your voice.

C.H. Spurgeon
