Even when preaching the Word of God does not soften and save and heal, it is not necessarily ineffective. This preaching of the Word may be doing God’s terrible work of judgment. It may be hardening people, and making their ears so dull that they will never want to hear again. There is a judgment in this world – not just in the world to come (Romans 1:24) – and oh, how we should flee from it…. Take heed how you hear! Don’t be cavalier in the hearing of God's Word week after week. If it is not softening and saving and healing and bearing fruit, it is probably hardening and blinding and dulling (see 2 Corinthians 2:16).

INGREDIENTS

1/4	c	Butter
1 1/4	c	Unbleached All Purpose
		Flour
2	ts	Sugar
2	ts	Baking Powder
1/2	ts	Salt
2/3	c	Milk

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oven to 450 degrees F.  Heat the butter in a square pan 9 X 9 X
2-inches, in the oven until the butter is melted. Mix the flour, sugar,
baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the milk and stir with a fork
just until a soft dough forms, about 30 strokes. Turn the dough out onto a
well-floured cloth-covered board. Coat the dough lightly with flour. Knead
lightly about 10 times. Roll or pat the dough into an 8-inch square. With a
floured butter knife, cut the dough into halves, then cut each half into 9
strips.  Dip each strip into the melted butter, coating both sides. Arrange
the strips close together in two rows in the pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes
or until golden brown.
