Grace has meaning only when men are seen as fallen, unworthy of salvation, and liable to eternal wrath. It is precisely because people today have lost sight of the depths of human depravity that they think so little of divine grace. What makes Paul’s declaration that we are saved “by grace” so significant is his earlier declaration that we were “dead” in trespasses and sins, “gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature,” “following its desires and thoughts,” and were by nature the children of divine wrath (Eph. 2:1-10).

To make crust: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine flour and salt in
medium bowl. Cut in shortening using pastry blender or 2 knives until all
flour is blended in to form pea sized chunks. Sprinkle with water, 1
tablespoon at a time. Toss lightly with fork until dough will form a ball.
Press between hands to form 5- to 6-inch "pancake." Flour rolling surface
and rolling pin lightly. Roll dough into circle. Trim 1 inch larger than
upside-down 9-inch tart pan with removable sizes. Loosen dough carefully.
Fold into quarters. Flour tart pan lightly. Unfold dough and press into
tart pan. Trim edge even with top of rim. Prick bottom and sides thoroughly
with fork 50 times to prevent shrinkage. Cover edge with double layer of
foil to prevent over browning. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly
browned. Cool to room temperature. To make cream cheese filling: Combine
cream cheese, condensed milk, powdered sugar and lemon juice in small bowl.
Beat at low speed of electric mixer until creamy. Place white chocolate
chips and nuts in food processor work bowl. Process until finely chopped.
Blend into cheese mixture. Spread in bottom of cooled baked tart shell. To
make fruit filling: Combine blackberries, sugar, cornstarch and boysenberry
syrup in medium saucepan. Cook and stir on medium heat until mixture is
thickened and clear. Remove from heat. Stir in butter, lemon juice and
salt. Transfer to bowl. Cool to room temperature. Spoon over cheese
filling. To make topping: Sprinkle nuts over fruit filling in lattice
fashion. To garnish: Combine powdered sugar, shortening, vanilla, butter
flavoring and 3 tablespoons cream in medium bowl. Beat until smooth, adding
more cream, if needed, for desired consistency. Spoon into decorator bag
fitted with desired tip. Form decorative border around edge of tart.
Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Remove rim. Cut into servings. Refrigerate
leftovers. Notes: Use 9-inch pie plate if tart pan is unavailable. If tart
is refrigerated longer than 2 hours, let stand at room temperature for a
few minutes before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
