But God’s goal is not simply to have us stop looking down on other races. God wants unity, not just a ceasing of hostilities. He wants the very makeup of His church to preach the gospel: that despite our racial variants we are united under one ancestor, Adam; that we had one problem, sin; and that we have one hope, salvation in Christ. He wants us to demonstrate to the world that this unity in Christ is weightier than anything that might divide us. When the Holy Spirit confronted Peter’s racism, he didn’t just command him to quit looking down on other races. He commanded Peter to embrace Cornelius, to go in and eat with him. Peter did not go from “racist” to “non-racist”; he went from “racist” to “gracist.”

Dairy		Crackers	100	Servings

INGREDIENTS

2	c	All-purpose flour
1/4	ts	Salt
2	tb	(1/4 stick) butter or
		Margarine, softened
1	c	Milk
		Salt for the tops (opt.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 325~ F. 325~ F 20 to 25 minutes In a large bowl or in
the food processor, combine the flour and salt. Cut the butter into the
flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Slowly mix in enough of the
milk to form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball. If
necessary, add up to 1 additional Tablespoon of milk. Divide the dough into
3 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll
the crackers paper thin. They will look almost translucent. If desired,
lightly sprinkle the tops with salt and gently roll over the dough with
your rolling pin. With a sharp knife, carefully cut the crackers into
2-inch squares. Handling them gently, transfer them to an ungreased baking
sheet. Prick each cracker in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork. Bake
for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on a rack. Yield:
95-100. VARIATIONS: This basic recipe can be the starting point for much
interesting experimentation. Simply varying flour or liquid can produce an
entirely new cracker unavailable anywhere but in your kitchen.
