Here is the great evangelical disaster – the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this – namely accommodation. The evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirit of the age. First, there has been accommodation on Scripture, so that many who call themselves evangelicals hold a weakened view of the Bible and no longer affirm the truth of all the Bible teaches – truth not only in religious matters but in the areas of science and history and morality… This accommodation has been costly, first in destroying the power of the Scriptures to confront the spirit of our age; second, in allowing the further slide of our culture. Thus we must say with tears that it is the evangelical accommodation to the world spirit around us, to the wisdom of this age, which removes the evangelical church from standing against the breakdown of our culture.

1		Stick or 1/2 cup butter
4	oz	Unsweetened chocolate; chopped
4	lg	Eggs
1/4	ts	Salt
2	c	Sugar
1	ts	Pure vanilla extract
1	c	All-purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small saucepan, melt together the butter and chocolate, stirring
occasionally. It?s very important to let the mixture cool before using.
Preheat the oven to 350. Butter a 13x9x2-inch baking pan or 9x9x2-inch
square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the
eggs and salt until light and foamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the butter
mixture until blended. Then beat in the sugar and vanilla until well mixed.
With a rubber spatula, fold in the flour and pecans. Scrape into the
prepared pan.
Bake the 13x9x2-inch pan in the 350 oven until still slightly soft to the
touch and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with crumbs
attached to it, about 30 minutes. Or bake the 9x9x2-inch square pan for 40
minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. Cover and refrigerate
until chilled. Then cut into rectangles or squares, as large or as small as
you want.

A Message from our Provider:

“Mad at God? Sure you’ve got the right person?”

Often we refuse to forgive others because we mistakenly think that to do so is to minimize their sin. “And that’s not fair! He really hurt me. If I forgive, who’s going to care for me and take up my cause and nurse my wounds?” God is. We must never buy into the lie that to forgive means that sin is being whitewashed or ignored or that the perpetrator is not being held accountable for his/her actions. It simply means we consciously choose to let God be the one who determines the appropriate course of action in dealing justly with the offending person… To long for justice is entirely legitimate, but to seek it for yourself is not. Let God deal with the offender in his own way at the appropriate time. He’s much better at it than your or I.
