Banana-peanut Butter Bread

Our enemy knows that when he strikes the shepherd, the sheep will scatter (Matt. 26:31), and church leaders – even as the Lord Himself – are Satan’s special targets. The more faithful and fruitful a pastor is, the more his people need to pray for his strength and protection. He is more subject to the devil’s schemes to make him discouraged or self-satisfied, hopeless or superficially optimistic, cowardly or overconfident. Satan uses every situation – favorable or unfavorable, successful or unsuccessful – to try to weaken, distract, and discredit God’s gifted men in their work of “equipping of the saints for the work of service” (Eph. 4:12).

INSTRUCTIONS

Here is a terrific loaf of bread that tastes good throughout the
entire meal-- including the dessert course, which it might well
replace. It combines two flavors that go well together: peanut butter
and bananas.  Slice bananas into a blender. Puree until smooth. Beat
peanut butter  and butter together until smooth. Beat in eggs, then
bananas until  well blended. Combine all dry ingredients, then add to
banana  mixture, beating in a little at a time, until completely
blended.  Pour batter into nine-by-five-inch loaf pan. Bake in
preheated 350  degree F. oven 50 minutes, or until a wooden pick
inserted into loaf  comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn
onto wire rack to  complete cooling. Makes one loaf.  Posted to

We Christians often act like heathen. We preach that it is wonderful to be a Christian, that Heaven is to be gained and Hell shunned. Then when one of our loved ones dies, we act as if it were all a lie. Our actions say that this world is better than the next, that death is a tragedy, and we ask querulously in our unbelief, Why? Why? Why?… Shame on us! When we weep and lament at the death of our loved ones [beyond God’s-honoring grief], we often make void our testimony, cast reflection upon the Bible and irreverence on Heaven. For the Christian, death is not a tragedy but a glorious promotion – not the sad end, but the glorious beginning.
