Our Lord requires us to take up our cross and follow Him, and there are many testimonies to the blessedness of godly self-denial. Biblically it is not an attempt to gain forgiveness or spirituality through self-abasement. Rather it is the willing response of a heart dedicated to serving Christ at any cost. Asceticism is a different matter. It is motivated by pride rather than humility, and it is an attempt to accomplish in the energy of the flesh a right relationship with God, which can be brought about only by a divine transformation through faith in Jesus Christ.

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

The ingredients may be a bit uncommon....but the theory is the same,
no matter what fruit you use, so make cherry leather...or orange
leather...or....well you get the idea.  PUREES, FRUIT LEATHERS & CHIPS:
Fruit leathers are dried leathery  sheets of pureed fruit. Fruit chips
are made from crisp fruit leather  that breaks easily. Both have tangy,
concentrated fruit flavor that  makes them a favorite snack for anyone,
especially handy to pack in a  lunch or rucksack. Much of the following
information about making  purees, fruit leathers and chips and the
individual recipes are  excerpted and adapted from University of Alaska
Cooperative Extension  Service Bulletin P-228, "Fruit Leather"  PUREE:
To make berry purees, rinse berries, drain, put in a blender  and blend
until the consistency of thick puree. Most berries do not  need to be
cooked. Salmonberries and highbush cranberries have larger  seeds and
should be put through a sieve after blending to remove  seeds.  Posted
