1/4	ts	Baking soda
1/2	ts	Vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

Pop popcorn and remove old maids. Spread popcorn in a large flat pan and
preheat in a 250~ oven. In a saucepan, melt butter and stir in brown sugar,
corn syrup, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil,
and continue to boil without stirring for about 5 minutes (240~). Remove
from heat and add soda and vanilla, stirring until foamy. If nuts are used,
add them now, stirring until heated through and no longer clumped. Pour
syrup mixture over preheated popcorn and stir to coat. Bake for about 30
minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times to evenly distribute the coating. Bake
longer, about 60 minutes, for a more Crackerjacks-like taste. Cool, break
up and store airtight.

A Message from our Provider:

“Having convictions can be defined as being so thoroughly convinced that Christ and His Word are both objectively true and relationally meaningful that you act on your beliefs regardless of the consequences. #Josh McDowell”

The dead body of Jesus could not be found. There are four possible ways to account for this. 1. His foes stole the body. If they did (and they never claimed to have done so), they surely would have produced the body to stop the successful spread of the Christian faith in the very city where the crucifixion occurred. But they could not produce it. 2. His friends stole the body. This was an early rumor (Matthew 28:11-15). Is it probable? Could they have overcome the guards at the tomb? More important, would they have begun to preach with such authority that Jesus was raised, knowing that he was not? Would they have risked their lives and accepted beatings for something they knew was a fraud? 3. Jesus was not dead, but only unconscious when they laid him in the tomb. He awoke, removed the stone, overcame the soldiers, and vanished from history after a few meetings with his disciples in which he convinced them he was risen from the dead. Even the foes of Jesus did not try this line. He was obviously dead. The Romans saw to that. The stone could not be moved by one man from within who had just been stabbed in the side by a spear and spent six hours nailed to a cross. 4. God raised Jesus from the dead. This is what He said would happen. It is what the disciples said did happen. But as long as there is a remote possibility of explaining the resurrection naturalistically, modern people say we should not jump to a supernatural explanation. Is this reasonable? I don’t think so. Of course, we don’t want to be gullible. But neither do we want to reject the truth just because it’s strange.
