Because all men be sinners and offenders against God, and breakers of His law and commandments, therefore can no man by His own acts, works, and deeds (seem they never so good) be justified, and made righteous before God: But every man of necessity is constrained to seek for another righteousness or justification, to be received at God’s own hands, that is to say, the forgiveness of his sins and trespasses, in such things as he hath offended. And this justification or righteousness, which we so receive of God’s mercy and Christ’s merits, embraced by faith, is taken, accepted, and allowed of God, for our perfect and full justification.

INGREDIENTS

2		Onions, chopped
2		3 cloves garlic
1	lb	Dried beans, soaked 4 hours
		Or over night
1		2 bay leaves
		Water to cover.

INSTRUCTIONS

Put in crockpot and cook about 4-6 hours on high or overnight on low. Beans
should be soft (small white beans take longest, pinto beans shorter)
Add spices, veggies, etc. (see below) cook about another hour.
Spices:, veggies, etc:
1) 1 tsp dried cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1-2 Tbsp. soy
sauce,   a few chili peppers, chopped, chopped green pepper, can chopped
tomotoes, some frozen corn. (Good with black beans) 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
tastes good added.
2) 1 tsp cumin, 1 can chopped green chilis, chopped green pepper, 1 Tbsp
soy sauce (good with white beans).
3) 1-2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp dried
mustard, (good with pinto or black eyed peas)
Garbanzo beans I usually use as a substiute in chicken recipes, so I'll
freeze them with just the onions and garlic.  Frozen black eyed peas are
also a good staple to have on hand (for some reason that's the only legume
that comes frozen except for lima beans which I don't like).

A Message from our Provider:

“There is hope. There is Jesus”

Consider the implications of adding the work of confession for ongoing forgiveness... If something more is required for forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness (a state required for heaven), then the believer is in a dilemma. What if he fails to confess some sins? What if he fails to confess one sin? Is he unforgiven and not cleansed from all unrighteousness? This is not what propitiation and the continual immediate cleansing from sin by the blood assert. Must we add to what God has so completely accomplished? Isn't Christ's death and the application of His blood enough? Doesn't this additional requirement diminish the cross by making my naming of a sin, each sin, a prerequisite to forgiveness?
