Mix dates and baking soda in a heat-proof bowl. Pour boiling water on top
and leave to stand. Cream butter and sugar until pale, then add eggs one at
a time, heating well after each addition. Gently fold in sifted flour, stir
in the date mixture, and pour into a lightly buttered 18cm or 7" square or
round cake tin. Bake in a preheated oven (180 C) for 30-40 minutes, until
an inserted skewer comes clean. Combine sugar, cream, vanilla essence and
butter in a saucepan, bring to the boil, stirring, and simmer for five
minutes. Set aside until ready to serve, then quickly reheat when needed.
Cut pudding into squares and place each square in the centre of a warm
dinner plate. Pour hot toffee sauce over each square and serve with fresh
cream.

A Message from our Provider:

“There’s a limit to God’s patience”

Evidence, evidence, evidence, will be the one thing wanted when the great white throne is set, when the books are opened, when the graves give up their tenants, when the dead are arraigned before the bar of God. Without some evidence that our faith in Christ was real and genuine, we shall only rise again to be condemned. I can find no evidence that will be admitted in that day, except sanctification. The question will not be how we talked and what we professed, but how we lived and what we did. Let no man deceive himself on this point. If anything is certain about the future, it is certain that there will be a judgment; and if anything is certain about judgment, it is certain that men’s “works” and “doings” will be considered and examined in it (Jn. 5:29; 2 Cor. 5:10; Rev. 20:13). He that supposes works are of no importance, because they cannot justify us, is a very ignorant Christian. Unless he opens his eyes, he will find to his cost that if he comes to the bar of God without some evidence of grace, he had better never have been born.
