Apricots A La Conde – We Love God!

The pulpit is the place where the voice of God is heard. The clay pot of the minister is used by the Holy Spirit in such a way as to communicate the rational Biblical message which has been burning in the bosom of that preacher's heart night and day all week long. It is the place where God speaks to His people in a unique manner. The Word of God is audibly expressed and expounded by careful and responsible exegesis to God's chosen people.

INSTRUCTIONS

Make a rice pudding: Rince the rice and cook it in boiling water  for 5
minutes. Strain. Heat the milk with a pod of vanilla split in  two in a
saucepan, add the strained rice and cook for 30 minutes  until all the
milk has been absorbed. Pour in 200 g sugar and let the  rice absorb
it.  2 Beat 2 eggs and add them to the rice and stir. Grease a souffle
dish with butter, pour in the rice and put in the refrigerator for 3

remove  the stone. When the syrup is ready, put in the apricots and
cook for  15 minutes over a low heat. Remove from the heat and leave to
cool in  the syrup.  4 Put the rice in a serving dish. Arrange the
drained apricots on  top. Pour on the syrup and serve.  Campanile tip:

Criticism should be viewed as a tool for growth and change. Several temptations arise when we experience criticism. 1. We fear the loss of respect; 2. We look for reasons to challenge the data; 3. We search for flaws in the process; 4. We point out weakness in the other person; 5. We demand credit for our strengths; 6. We play the martyr, reeling under the unjust complaints of others. Yet, when we run away from the slightest hint of criticism, we forfeit the very means by which our Lord wants to make us more effective and godly.

Jerry Wragg

Scripture never tells us to forgive ourselves. When we try to “forgive” ourselves, we are attempting the impossible. Forgiveness assumes an innocent party has been wronged, and it is the job of the person who has been wronged to forgive. The offending party is the one that receives forgiveness. We are the offender; God is the one who has been wronged, since our sin is rebellion against Him. By focusing on forgiving ourselves, we have taken the spotlight off of God and pointed it at us – making it doubly difficult to let go of our sin! He has forgiven us. We must simply receive that forgiveness and rest in it. That means releasing those sins we want to hold on to, refusing to revisit them in our minds, and allowing the truth of our forgiveness to cover us with His peace. Absolution from the Lord is far more powerful than absolution from oneself.
