Seeking mortification of sin just to quiet the soul and find relief from the torment of the conscience, all the while neglecting to deal with the root cause of sin, is a result of self-love. Men are diverted from coming to God this way. This is of the most common deception in which men ruin their souls. They seek to apply themselves to victory over the troubling sin but do not allow their conviction to lead them to the gospel. They perish in their 'reformation'.

INSTRUCTIONS

I found this recipe in the Chicago Tribune a few years ago and have had
good reviews from my family. I'd also stud it with mini-chocolate chip
morsels after it cools off.
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Sift together the
flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
2. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until
light, 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla, mixing well
after each addition. Stop the mixer and add the bananas. Mix lightly. fold
in the dry ingredients and nuts, mixing just until combined.
3. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes
then invert onto a wire rack. Cool completely. Sprinkle chocolate chip
morsels on top, if desired, before slicing. Posted to KitMailbox Digest by
