A measure of our own ongoing sinfulness is that we just don’t understand the beauty of God’s holiness, righteousness, and justice and the equal ultimacy of these attributes with his love. But one day we will not have a problem with eternal punishment. It will make perfect sense. We are not entitled, much less required, in our present condition to defend the doctrine of eternal punishment in any way that either exceeds Scripture or reflects a perverse delight in damnation. Since God does not delight in the death of the wicked, neither can we.

INSTRUCTIONS

FILLING
GLAZE
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9 inch round cake pan.  Line with
waxed paper.
2. Beat together egg yolks and vanilla at medium speed until blended. Beat
in half of sugar until very thick and pale.
3. Using clean, dry beaters, beat together egg whites and salt at medium
speed until very soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar until
stiff, but not dry, peaks form.
4. Fold yolk mixture into egg whites. Sift flour over mixture; fold in
gently. Do not overmix.  Pour batter into prepared pan.
5. Bake cake until top springs back when lightly pressed, 25 minutes.
Loosen cake by running a metal spatula around sides of pan. Invert cake
onto a wire rack. Remove pan, leaving waxed paper on cake. Turn cake right-
side up. Cool completely on rack.
6. Meanwhile, prepare filling. In a saucepan, mix together sugar and flour.
Gradually whisk in milk, then egg yolks, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a boil
over medium heat; boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Strain through a
fine sieve into a bowl.  Press plastic wrap on surface.  Chill for 30
minutes.
7. Using a serrated knife, cut cake horizontally in half. Carefully remove
waxed paper. Place bottom layer on a serving plate.  Spread evenly with
filling. Top with remaining cake layer.
8. To prepare glaze, in a saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup, and water to a
boil over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved. Remove
from heat. Add chocolate; let stand for 1 minute.  Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour glaze over cake, allowing it to drip down sides. Let stand
until glaze sets.

A Message from our Provider:

“God is humble”

According to this doctrine [of total depravity], man in his present condition since the fall is so polluted with a principle of evil that every aspect of his being and personality is affected by it. The term depravity refers to the moral disposition or inclination of fallen man’s nature toward evil and against good. This principle of sin and moral pollution is such that man is by nature opposed to what is true and righteous. The inclination of his heart, the delight of his soul, the orientation of his will is toward wickedness. Nothing compels him to sin. He sins because he loves it. He revels in it. He has no taste for God, but relishes evil and pursues it with voluntary zeal.
