God has so designed that children, in their formative years, naturally look to their [parents] in order to emulate them… "Mold me – impart to me what's most precious to your hearts." But so often a child sees behind all of the religious garb of his parents and finds what is really precious to them! He sees patterns of heart which lure them toward a pursuit of wealth, leisure, athletics, entertainment, television, shopping or religious busyness. A child can easily see when these things are more exciting to his parents than devotion to Jesus Christ! When this proves to be the case, a child will embrace those same affections – to the detriment of his own soul!

2		4 1/2 oz. each herbed cheese
		(Rondele or Boursin)
2	tb	Whipping cream
2	lb	Wheel Brie cheese
1	lb	Frozen puff pastry
1		Egg beaten with 1 T water,

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the ream with the herbed cheese,  Spread on top of brie.  Roll out both
sheets of puff pastry to 14" squares.  Place brie in center of first
square, and cut circle 2" larger than the brie.  Brush pastry with the egg
wash, center the bottom of the brie on pastry.  Make diagonal cuts in the
edge of the pastry; brush with the egg wash, if it becomes dry, and fold
against the side of the brie.  (Diagonal slits will help the pastry fit
better.)  Now, cut a second round of pastry from the other 14" square, egg
wash, and then place the on top of the brie in the center.  Make more
diagonal slits to fit.  Use egg wash if necessary, and firmly press pastry
dough to the sides of the brie.  With a sharp knife, trim the excess. Take
the scraps of pastry and make decorations, etc.  (You may cover this and
refrigerate overnight, or at this point, freeze for up to 2 weeks.)
Before serving, bring to room temperature.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the
pastry is golden.  Let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours before
serving or the cheese will be too soft to cut.  Serve this cut in small
wedges.  It will serve 18 to 20.

A Message from our Provider:

“Man’s way leads to a hopeless end — God’s way leads to an endless hope.”

As it pertains to temperance (Tit. 2:2), we are talking about someone who is sober in thought, even-keeled and moderate. Young people tend to be emotional and impulsive, but the mature saint should have learned stability, consistency and balance. Men who lack temperance are seen bouncing in and out of ministry, constantly changing jobs. Life is a continual roller-coaster of extremes, overreactions, unstable relationships, inconsistencies and faithless living. On the contrary there is a steadiness to a temperate man. He prays and waits on the Lord to save making a foolish or rash decision. He doesn’t overreact to problems. He is self-controlled. He recognizes the hills worth dying on. He thinks before he speaks. He avoids false excitement but also refuses to be paralyzed by sorrow. He wisely controls his money, feelings and words. He is not tossed here and there by every comment he hears off the lips of another. He knows how to ride out the storms of life.
