When the solemn and blessed subject of Divine foreordination is expounded, when God’s eternal choice of certain ones to be conformed to the image of His Son is set forth, the Enemy sends along some man to argue that election is based upon the foreknowledge of God, and this “foreknowledge” is interpreted to mean that God foresaw certain ones would be more pliable than others, that they would respond more readily to the strivings of the Spirit, and that because God knew they would believe, He, accordingly, predestinated them unto salvation. But such a statement is radically wrong. It repudiates the truth of total depravity, for it argues that there is something good in some men It takes away the independency of God, for it makes His decrees rest upon what He discovers in the creature It completely turns things upside down, for in saying God foresaw certain sinners would believe in Christ, and that because of this, He predestinated them unto salvation, is the very reverse of the truth. Scripture affirms that God, in His high sovereignty, singled out certain ones to be recipients of His distinguishing favors (Acts 13:48), and therefore He determined to bestow upon them the gift of faith. False theology makes God’s foreknowledge of our believing the cause of His election to salvation; whereas, God’s election is the cause, and our believing in Christ is the effect.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat waffle iron. Preheat oven to 200'F. Melt butter; reserve in a
large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking
soda, salt and pepper to mix. In another bowl, beat together
buttermilk and egg until well blended and whisk into dry ingredients.
Stir in cilantro and jalapeno. Fold in corn oil and melted butter,
mixing only until combined.
Lightly butter or spray grids of your waffle iron, if needed. Brush or
spray grids again only if subsequent waffles stick.
Spoon out 1/2 cup of batter (or amount your waffle maker's
manufacturer suggests) onto iron, spreading it evenly to edge of
grids with a metal spatula or wooden spoon. Close lid and bake until
golden and crispy. Remove waffle from iron and separate into hearts
or cut into whatever size pieces you want. Place on a baking sheet,
in a single layer, and put into preheated oven. Continue making rest
of batch and putting finished waffles on sheet in oven. The waffles
should bake in oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until they are very
crispy. Serve immediately or cool on a rack and serve at room
temperature.

A Message from our Provider:

“Misunderstood? No one understands like Jesus”

Consider the irony. At a certain point in time the One who was creator, would actually become part of His creation. The sustainer of the world would be killed by the hands He was sustaining. The One who was loved by the Father, would be predetermined to be rejected by the Father. The One who knew no sin, would become sin. And the One predestined to die for sinners, would be predestined before there ever was sin. First Peter 1:20, says He “has appeared in these last times for the sake of you.” The One who needs nothing, would come to the aid of those who hated Him and purchase a people for Himself.
