As to the Holy Spirit, if He is not fully God, the implications for salvation are again serious. Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit regenerates believers and indwells and fills them, but if the Holy Spirit is a lesser God or no God at all, how can we be sure that He can do any of these things? Moreover, unless He is coequal in being and purpose with the Father and the Son, what guarantees that even if He tried to do such things, the Father and the Son would recognize his actions as appropriate and relate to us accordingly?

INSTRUCTIONS

In a saucepan combine the cranberries, the pear, the brown sugar, the
dried fruit, the zest, the cinnamon stick, the cranberry juice
cocktail, the vanilla, and a pinch of salt and simmer the mixture for
10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl, reserving
the solids, and transfer the cranberry liquid to a shallow dish. Line
a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish with plastic wrap and trim enough of the
bread slices to cover the bottom and the side of the dish. Soak the
trimmed slices in the cranberry liquid and line the bottom and the
side of the souffle dish with them.
Discard the zest and the cinnamon stick from the reserved cranberry
solids and add the solids to the souffle dish. Trim enough of the
remaining bread slices to cover the cranberry solids, soak the
trimmed slices in the cranberry liquid, and top the cranberry solids
with them. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap, put a plate on top of
the plastic wrap, and weight the pudding with three 1-pound cans.
Chill the pudding, weighted, for at least 12 hours and up to 1 day.
Invert the pudding onto a serving plate, discarding the plastic wrap,
and serve it, cut into wedges, with the whipped cream.
Serves 6 to 8.

A Message from our Provider:

“Christ gives Life!”

If you already know what the Bible says about homosexuality, don’t forget what the Bible says about all of life and godliness. We can be right about marriage and still wrong about everything else that matters. And if you like most everything else the Bible says, why would you on this matter of homosexuality decide the Bible suddenly can’t be trusted? If you won’t count the cost here, what else will you be willing to sell? The support for homosexual behavior almost always goes hand in hand with the diluting of robust, 100-proof orthodoxy, either as the cause or the effect. The spirits which cause one to go wobbly on biblical sexuality are the same spirits which befog the head and heart when it comes to the doctrine of creation, the historical accuracy of the Old Testament, the virgin birth, the miracles of Jesus, the resurrection, the second coming, the reality of hell, the plight of those who do not know Christ, the necessity of the new birth, the full inspiration and authority of the Bible, and the centrality of a bloody cross.
