God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
No person, no matter how clever and deceitful, can indefinitely hide a character that is rotten and out of tune with God. John Calvin said, "Nothing is more difficult to counterfeit than virtue." It demands too much. It demands more than any person has in himself, and when God's divine provision and power are absent the charade cannot last long.
Spiritual emotions result in Christian practice because their object is the loveliness of spiritual things, not our self-interest. People have a defective Christianity because they are seeking their own interests in it, not God’s. So they accept Christianity only to the extent that they think it serves their interests. By contrast, a person who accepts it for its own excellent and lovely nature, accepts everything which has that nature.
Preheat oven to 350~. Grease and flour 3, 8 inch cake pans. In large bowl,
combine flour, sugar, margarine, buttermilk, cocoa, baking soda, vanilla,
salt and eggs. With mixer on low, beat just until mixed, scraping sides
with spatula. Add coffee to bowl. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes.
Pour batter into pans. Bake 25-30 minutes. Cool cake in pans on racks, 10
minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely. While cake is cooling, chop
Heath bars.
Reserve 2/3 of the heath bar. In a cup, dissolve 1/2 tsp instant coffee
with 1 tsp hot water. Cool. With serrated knife, cut each cake in two,
making 6 thin layers. In a bowl, beat whipping cream, brown sugar and
cooled 1 tsp of coffee until stiff peaks form. To assemble cake, place 1
layer on plate; spread with 1/2 cup whipped cream. Sprinkle with 1/5 of the
remaining Heath bar. Repeat layers 4 more times. Top with last layer of
cake. Thinly spread whipped cream over top and sides of cake. Gently press
reserved 2/3 of the Heaths onto top and sides of cake. Refrigerate until
ready to serve.
