When the Word of God is not set up as the supreme authority, division is inevitable. Such happens even in evangelical churches, when pastors and other leaders begin substituting their own ideas for the truths of Scripture. The substitution is seldom intentional, but it will always happen when the Bible is neglected. A Bible that is not studied carefully cannot be followed carefully. And where it is not followed there will be division, because there will be no common ground for beliefs and practices. When the truth of Scripture is not the sole authority, men's varied opinions become the authority.

ICING
Sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder & salt. Stir in the
apricots & nuts.  Add the syrup. Stir until the mixture forms a thick
batter.
Spread the batter into a lightly oiled 8" X 8" baking pan (it is hard work,
but it will cover -- trust me!). Bake at 350F for 30 to 35 minutes or until
the bars test done. Allow to cool slightly, cut into bars. When completely
cool, spread with icing & drizzle some melted chocolate over the top if
desired.
