In the Puritan tradition George Whitefield wonderfully exemplified in his preaching a stable understanding of divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He used to place lost sinners in a vice. He pressed home the necessity of repentance. But the lost sinner is a slave. He cannot repent. Yet to be saved he must repent. He cannot. He must. His only recourse is to look away from himself to the one who can save. His escape route is cut off. There is no help in himself. His only hope is to call on God for mercy. And a God of mercy will never cast out those who come to Him in faith.

INSTRUCTIONS

BAKING MIX
FOR BAKED CHICKEN
Place 1/4 c. Baking Mix per cut up chicken  in brown paper bag.  Skin
chicken pieces and wash in cold water;  blot dry with paper towels. Moisten
chicken with tomato juice or skim milk--we're talking damp, not wet.  Put
all chicken pieces in bag at once;  close bag, trapping air inside, and
shake until all pieces are coated.  Add more mix, if necessary.  Arrange
chicken on a cooling rack to dry 15 minutes while oven preheats to 450
degrees.
Spray a shallow roasting pan liberally with cooking spray or grease with
mixture of lecithin and oil. Arrange chicken pieces skin-side down and bake
on lower rack of oven 15 minutes. Turn chicken and continue baking 20
minutes until tender, golden brown, and no longer pink inside.
FOR BAKED FISH
Rinse fish fillets and blot dry.  Cut into small portions or sticks.
Combine 1 egg white and 2 T. skim milk;  pour baking mix into shallow dish
or plate.  Dip fish pieces in milk mixture, then press into baking mix to
coat.  Arrange on lightly greased baking sheet and let dry 10 minutes while
oven is preheating to 425 degrees.  Bake about 15 minutes.

A Message from our Provider:

“Have you made God smile today?”

We should understand that, fundamentally, our faith is not about what we do (as important as that is), nor is it about what we think (as important as that is). Our faith is fundamentally strengthened by understanding who we are through the indwelling Christ. We are who we are because of our union with Him. Nothing else can be the integration point (the place where the promises of Scripture and our identity intersect) of true spirituality. If we make what we do (right actions) the integration point of our faith, then we become fundamentalist and Pharisaical, with the judgement of others' misbehaviors the preoccupation of our religion. If we make what we think (right doctrine) the integration point of our faith, then we become rationalistic debaters with judgement of other’ faulty doctrine the preoccupation of our religion.
