Oh, it’s more than just the fear of being persecuted. When we choose to live lives that are not pleasing to the Lord, we do so because we fear missing out on fun, or fear that our idols of dependency will be snatched away, or fear God’s way won’t effectively get the job done, or fear we will be pulled out of our comfort zone, or fear that it is going to cost us too much. The list continues, but it all comes back to fear, and fear results because we walk by sight and a lack of faith in God’s promises (cf. 2 Cor. 5:7). We don’t always live to please God because we think we know better than God as to what it takes to make us more productive and content and happy.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and bananas and
beat until well blended. Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
Add alternately with sour cream to banana mixture, stirring just to blend.
Stir in nuts. Spoon batter into greased and floured (I just use Pam) loaf
pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes or until toothpick comes our clean.
Let stand in pan for at least 10-15 minutes. (We can't wait - we love it
hot as well as cold)
I have family members ho are allergic to nuts - so I make some loaves with,
some without and both are equally delicious.
Another recipe I have calls for 1/2 cup rough chopped maraschino cherries.
I added to above recipe - WOW! Absolutely mouth watering.
