A Definition of Legalism: 1. Using the Mosaic covenant as though it is the covenant between you and God. 2. Attempting to be justified by one’s own works. 3. Attempting to be sanctified by one's own works. 4. Suggesting that our worth or worthlessness, our self-esteem and self-satisfaction or lack thereof, rest on our own works. 5. Any attempt to please God judicially, or any supposition that our sin as believers has resulted in his judicial displeasure. 6. Teaching that we conform ourselves to our judicial standing in Christ (righteous and perfect) by our own works. 7. Attempting to attain godliness by a systematic change of behavior. 8. Obedience that does not spring from a renewed heart. As of an unbeliever who has no renewed heart. As of a believer who has a renewed heart but whose righteous behavior does not spring therefrom. 9. Any supposition that externally righteous acts have any value on their own, even as conduct that prepares the way for either. 10. Suggesting that faith is irrelevant in the accomplishment of some (or all) good works. 11. Trying to be justified by works that are created and inspired by the Holy Spirit. 12. Attempting to gain assurance of salvation solely or primarily on the basis of the sign of outward works.

INGREDIENTS

16	oz	Nonfat plain yogurt
		Coffee filters
	lg	Colander (the larger the better)

INSTRUCTIONS

Line a large colander with coffee machine filters. Place the yogurt into
the filters, spreading over as large an area as possible. Place colander
over a large dish to drain for 24 hours. (refrigerate) The watery whey will
drain out of the yogurt, leaving a cheeselike substance similar in
consistency to cream cheese. The longer the yogurt drains, the firmer it
will become as more whey drains out. (Although many people drain it only
for 24 hours, I like to start early and let it drain a little longer for
firmer consistency.) And though it's not essential, I think I get better
results if I replace the coffee filters once or twice during the process
(the yogurt will be becoming drier and firmer and is usually easy for me to
remove it from one filter to the next. If you choose to do this, you will
notice less and less whey draining out each time as the yogurt becomes
"cheese". This method is easy for me since I have the items on hand and I
like it better than using cheesecloth. Some people really love the yogurt
funnels that you can buy at many culinary cookshops.
Plain yogurt cheese is 12 calories per tablespoon and has no fat. Yogurt
cheese may be used as a substitute in cheese balls, spreads, dips,
cheesecakes, etc. It is a good alternative to any of the following: ricotta
cheese, sour cream, cream cheese or mayonnaise. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's
