2 Peter 1:21 says, “Men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The Greek word for “moved” is “phero.” It’s a verb that is translated “bring, carry or bear.” It’s the same word that used twice in Acts 27 –Paul’s famous voyage to Rome – of the ship that was at the mercy of the breeze being caried by the wind. It’s origin of the English name, “Christopher.” Christos (Christ) – Phero (Bearing) – Bearing Christ. So, this tells us that the men who wrote Scripture did not have heightened powers or mystical visions or even an ear for God to dictate His word. Rather, they wrote what they knew to be true using their own words, style, experiences and personalities, but as they wrote, the Holy Spirit (pheuma-the same Greek word used in the Bible for wind) was bearing them along. Therefore, when they wrote they wrote the very Word of God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Here is a scratch muffin recipe that is as good as homemade blueberry
muffins.
Yield: 24 muffins
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, almond extract, and vegetable oil
blending well. Add to the dry ingredients and mix only to blend, if using
an elelctric mixer, use low speed, about 30 seconds. Batter will still be
lumpy.  Gently fold in the drained cherries and chopped nuts. Spoon into
well greased muffin tins filling each about 2/3 full, handling the batter
as little as possible. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 25 minutes or until done.
