A home full of grace is also full of truth, because grace doesn’t make people less holy; it makes them more holy. Grace doesn’t make people despise or neglect truth; it makes them love and follow truth. Far from a free pass to sin, grace is a supernatural empowerment not to sin (Titus 2:11-12). Grace raises the bar, but it also enables us to joyfully jump over that bar. Any concept of grace that leaves us – or our children – thinking that truth is unimportant is not biblical grace.

INSTRUCTIONS

           FILLING:
YIELD:  One 9-inch pie Preheat the oven to 350. MAKE THE CRUST: In a medium
bowl, blend the graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar. Stir in the milk
chocolate.  Press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a
9-inch pie plate.  Refrigerate until ready to use. PREPARE THE FILLING: In
a heavy medium saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat,
stirring constantly.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then let boil
without stirring until the syrup turns a light amber. While the syrup is
boiling, brush down the sides of the pan from time to time with a wet
pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Remove the pan from the heat
and stir in the hot cream (be careful, it will bubble rapidly). Continue
stirring, over heat if necessary, until all of the caramel is dissolved
into the cream. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Whisk about
1/2 c. of the hot caramel cream into the eggs to warm them. Transfer the
warmed eggs to the caramel cream in the saucepan. Stir in the chopped
semisweet chocolate and the vanilla, stirring until melted and smooth. Pour
the filling mixture into the pie crust.  Sprinkle the pecans and chocolate
chips on top.  Bake for about 35 min., or until the center is just set.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then refrigerate until firm,
about 4 hrs. Posted on AOL by Gizmowidge.

A Message from our Provider:

“It will work out perfectly – if you let Jesus take control”

What is the result of…people-idolatry? As in all idolatry, the idol we choose to worship soon owns us. The object we fear overcomes us. Although insignificant in itself, the idol becomes huge and rules us. It tells us how to think, what to feel, and how to act. It tells us what to wear, it tells us to laugh at the dirty joke, and it tells us to be frightened to death that we might have to get up in front of a group and say something. The whole strategy backfires. We never expect that using people to meet our desires leaves us enslaved to them.
