The glorious good news of the gospel is that the sin-devastated relationship between lost sinners and the holy God can be restored. That at first glance seems impossible. God’s perfect, infinite, righteous justice demands the punishment of all who violate His law. Standing before the bar of His justice are helpless, guilty sinners, unable either to satisfy God or to change their condition. But through God’s plan of reconciliation all the hostility, animosity, and alienation separating the Holy One and sinners vanishes, and those who were once His enemies become His friends. The high calling and noble privilege of preaching this message of reconciliation is the most important duty in the world, since it deals with eternal destinations.

INGREDIENTS

		1/2 cup butter
4	oz	Baking chocolate; (2 squares)
4		Eggs; at room temperature
		1/4 teaspoon salt
2	c	Sugar
1	ts	Vanilla
1	c	All-purpose flour; sifted
1	c	Pecans; chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler and
then cool mixture *If you don't cool the mixture, your brownies will be
heavy and dry.
Beat eggs and salt until light in color and foamy in texture and gradually
add sugar and vanilla. Contine beating until well creamed.
With a few swift strokes, combine the cooled chocolate mixture into the
eggs and sugar. *Even if you normally use an electric mixer, do this
manually.
Before the mixture becomes uniformly colored, fold in the flour, again by
hand (overworking the dough tends to cause toughness).
Before the flour is uniformly colored, stir the nut meats in gently.
Bake in a 9x13-inch pan for about 25 minutes. Cut when cool.

A Message from our Provider:

“Do you want to know the master planner? God!”

It can be easy for some counselors to treat the Bible like Tylenol, but Scripture was never intended to be prescribed for mechanical ingestion every six hours to make people feel better… Counselors who prescribe Scripture are in danger of approaching their counselees in a routine, uninterested, and dispassionate way. They instruct counselees to memorize this verse and to write out that verse, but they don’t use the powerful Word as a dynamic means to encounter the living Christ. They rarely delve into the depth of biblical passages, the character of God, the beautiful implications of the gospel, or the nature of the sinful heart that fuels idolatry and deception. It is spiritual malpractice.
