To hate evil is good, because Christ hates evil. We cannot approve of everything and remain true to Him. But it is a question of being true to Him. A self-image of correctness creates a spirit of accusation. A sense of having been forgiven by the only Faithful One creates a spirit of love. That humility is more likely to safeguard orthodoxy in both principle and spirit — and not just because it is an effective institutional strategy, but because it will not have its lampstand removed by divine discipline.

INSTRUCTIONS

Leavened with yeast Requires a bread machine
Here's one of my favorite breads to make. The trick here is to use stone
ground cornmeal, not the powdered/bleached variety. It gives the bread a
great flavor, and a really nice coarse texture. The combination of
ingredients give it a very different flavor than standard banana/nut or
pan-baked corn bread. Scott
----------------------------- 1. Process the ingredients according to the
manufacturer's instructions for a basic bread setting.
2. Add mashed banana to milk in machine.
3. Set machine on "light" crust setting.

A Message from our Provider:

“No Brainer: Turn or Burn, Fly or Fry, Live or Die”

Why do soldiers first experience boot camp? Because they need to be taught how to push their body, overcome the desire to quit and grow beyond the pain. The mind way too often gives in before the body gives out. Likewise, why did the Apostle Paul say, “I discipline my body and make it my slave” (1 Cor. 9:27). The Christian life is not about listening to our bodies and giving into its desires (gluttony, drunkenness, slothfulness, sexual immorality), but rather mastering our bodies and making the body a slave to a biblically controlled mind. This is the difference between being controlled by the flesh or being led by the Spirit (Gal. 5). Exercise, in order to be effective, pushes the body beyond its comfort zone. Diets push the body beyond its comfort zone. These make the body your slave and no longer your master. These produce discipline. And coming full circle, discipline is essential for us to mortify sin (cf. 1 Pet. 4:1-2).
