Cheese Pasties – We Love God!

From the Book of Acts, we can conclude the following: One, with prayer and in dependence on the Holy Spirit we need to verbally share the Gospel living lives that make the message attractive. Two, we can point people to Christ though the Bible, creation, conscience and personal testimony. Three, we must share Christ and when we do, we must include His work on the cross and resurrection. And four we call people to receive salvation in Christ through their faith and repentance. We share and trust the Lord to open hearts. And when people are truly saved, their lives will testify to the fact as they are filled with the fruit of the Spirt and desire to obey the Lord, seen initially in water baptism. Then they join a local church and participate in the Great Commission, proclaiming the Gospel to others.

INSTRUCTIONS

To make the crust, sift the flour with the salt.  Cut the butter into
the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Sprinkle on ice water while you stir with a fork until the dough  hangs
together. Form into a ball and refrigerate for 15-30 min. Don't  chill
too long or you will have trouble working the dough.  In a large bowl,
mix together all the filling ingredients.  Preheat the oven to 375F.
Cut the ball of dough into 6 equal pieces.  Roll out each piece to
about 1/8" thick.  Cut a 9" circle out of each pastry piece.  Place 1/6
of the filling in the middle of each pastry circle.  Pack  it down so
that it will fit.  Pull one edge over the filling to make  a
half-circle. Seal the two edges together like a turnover.  Turn the
edges over all around and press with a fork or your fingers to double
seal. Cut slits in the tops of each pastie so that steam can escape.
Bake for 15 min at 375F, then reduce the heat to 350F and bake for 15
~ 20 min more, until lightly golden.  Let the pasties rest for at
least 5 min out of the oven before serving.  Make plenty.  Pasties are
even better when reheated the following day.  Source: Sundays at

Great illnesses seldom attack the body, without a previous train of premonitory symptoms. Great falls seldom happen to a saint, without a previous course of secret backsliding. The church and the world are sometimes shocked by the sudden misconduct of some great professor of religion. Believers are discouraged and stumbled by it. The enemies of God rejoice and blaspheme. But if the truth could be known, the explanation of such cases would generally be found to have been private departure from God. Men fall in private, long before they fall in public. The tree falls with a great crash, but the secret decay which accounts for it, is often not discovered until it is down on the ground.
