Scripture clearly proclaims Jesus as being God. Long before His birth it was divinely predicted that He would be called Immanuel, which means “God with us,” (Matt. 1:23; cf. Isa. 7:14). He was called by many divine names, such as “the Holy and Righteous One,” (Acts 3:14). It declares that to know Jesus is to know God the Father (John 8:19; 14:7), to hate Him is to hate the Father (15:23), and to believe in Him is to believe in the Father (Matt. 10:40; John 12:44; 14:1). It affirms that to see Him is to see the Father (John 14:9), to honor Him is to honor the Father (5:23), and to receive Him is to receive the Father (Mark 9:37). It proclaims that Jesus is omnipotent (Matt. 28:18), omnipresent (Matt. 28:20), changeless (Heb. 13:8), creator of the world (John 1:3), able to forgive sin (Mark 2:5-10) and is to be worshiped as God (Phil. 2:9-11; cf. Matt. 28:9, Heb 1:6).

INGREDIENTS

450	g	Kale or cabbage
450	g	Potatoes
2	sm	Leeks or green onion tops
150	ml	Milk or cream
1	pn	Mace
		Salt and pepper
100	g	Butter

INSTRUCTIONS

~- If using the kale, strip from the stalks or likewise remove the
stump of cabbage before cooking in boiling salted water until tender
but not overcooked. Drain very well and chop finely. Meanwhile, cook
the potatoes, and while they are cooking chop the leeks or onion tops
and simmer them in milk or cream for about 7 minutes. Drain the
potatoes, season and mash them well, then stir in the cooked leeks
and milk, adding a little more milk if needed.
Finally blend in the finely chopped kale or cabbage (modern cooks
will find a blender or food processor ideal for this). Add the mace
and taste for seasoning. Heat the entire mixture gently, then pile in
a warmed dish. Make a small well in the center and pour in the melted
butter.

A Message from our Provider:

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. #Desmond Tutu”

There is a true sense in which you must teach your children to fear God, and especially to fear His displeasure. You have not satisfied the responsibilities of parenthood when you have made your child submit to you. If you are consistent and firm in your discipline, your child may obey you because he or she fears violating your standards. That is a fairly easy thing to achieve. But it is not the proper goal of biblical parenting. Your child should fear violating God’s standard, not merely yours. You are only an intermediary with the responsibility of teaching your child to fear God. If your children grow up fearing only your displeasure but not God’s, what will they do when you are not there?
