No illustration can fully communicate the Trinity, because the Trinity is God and always transcends the created order in essence, persons, and relationships. But as long as teachers make clear that every analogy will be to some extent inadequate, it may still be profitable to use these improper illustrations to explain why and how they fall short as adequate representations of the Trinity. By understanding that the Trinity is not like the three states of H20 (ice, water, vapor), the student learns to reject modalism. By learning that the Trinity is not like the three leaves of a single clover, he eschews partialism. By grasping that the Trinity is not like the light and heat emanating from the sun, he disclaims Arianism.

3		Apples
2		Egg whites
2	tb	Flour
2	tb	Cornstarch
		Peanut oil for deep frying
1/2	c	Sugar
1/4	c	Honey
1/3	c	Water

INSTRUCTIONS

Quite an experience to eat - the apples is still warm and soft, the top is
crunchy and icy.  Great after a wok dinner.
Peel the apples, core and cut into wedges about 1/2 inch thick. Whip egg
whites until frothy.  Add flour and cornstarch and beat into a smooth
batter. Heat the oil to 375F. Dip each apple wedge into egg white batter,
place in hot oil and try, a few at a time, until crisp and brown. Place in
a single layer on a warm service platter. Bring remaining ingredients to a
boil in a saucepan and cook to a hard ball stage syrup; 280 F on candy
thermometer.  Pour over apple wedges and serve at once, accompanied by a
large crystal bowl of water containing lots of ice cubes. Each person picks
up an apple wedge with a fork or small tongs and dips it into the ice water
to crystallize the sugar and harden the top, which forms silk-like
threads....hence the name. Serves 6.

A Message from our Provider:

“Hopelessness has surprised me with patience. #Margaret J. Wheatley”

The wonder of wonders to me is not just the miracle where God instantly invades and just interrupts and violates the flow of everything, to me the greater wonder is that God can take it all and still make it work for His will. That’s astounding to me. The diversity of an innumerable number of events, circumstances and attitudes that occur within the limited freedom of men and demons and God pulls it all together to accomplish exactly what He wants done. Incredible not only to conceive that it can be done but to make it happen. But that is precisely what God does. So that the world with what we assume to be an almost infinite number of random choices is doing nothing more than acting out that which is predetermined by God.
