Name: Ambrosia
Ingredients: 1 1/4 c Cream, heavy; 2 Bananas (or equivalent amount of soft fruit); Broken meringue

Christ was placed midmost in the world’s history; and in that central position He towers like some vast mountain to heaven – the farther slope stretching backward toward the creation, the hither slope toward the consummation of all things. The ages before look to Him with prophetic gaze; the ages since behold Him by historic faith; by both He is seen in common as the brightness of the Father's glory, and the unspeakable gift of God to the race.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4	c	Cream, heavy
2		Bananas (or equivalent amount of soft fruit)
		Broken meringue

INSTRUCTIONS

Whip the cream.  Chop fruit coarsely, but don't crush. Break meringue into
large crumbs.  Mix everything shortly before serving and pile into glasses.
  NOTES:
*  Simple dessert for failed Pavlova attempts -- My mother used to make the
banana variety of this when she cooked her meringues a little too long or
too hot. I've no idea of its origins.
*  I can never make up my mind whether I prefer the strawberry or the
banana version. Peach should be pretty good too, though I've never tried
it.
*  This is a neat way of saving a Pavlova attempt when the meringue part
fails:  it produces a delicious desert and no-one need ever know...
: Difficulty:  very simple.
: Time:  10 minutes presuming you have the meringue available.
: Precision:  No need to measure.

A Message from our Provider:

“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”

Five reasons why I believe expository preaching is superior to all other styles: 1. Expository preaching models and teaches the congregation how to read and study the Bible for themselves. Most Christians will mimic (in a good sense) the model they see and hear week in and week out in the pulpit. The way they see and hear their pastor approach and handle and proclaim the Scriptures will become, often unconsciously, the way they do so in their own study and devotional life. 2. Expository preaching is the most effective way to teach the content of the Bible. Exposition unpacks for people both the broad sweep of God?s activity in redemptive history and the particular principles and truths of theology so essential for growth in Christ. 3. Expository preaching is the most effective way for the preacher to learn the content of the Bible. The sort of preparatory study essential to preach expositionally enhances the preacher?s growth in the knowledge of the Word in a way that other forms of preaching do not. When one is compelled to preach systematically through a book of the Bible, the preacher finds that he must address a greater number of issues and problems than would otherwise readily spring to mind. 4. Expository preaching is a check against hobby-horse preaching. That is to say, preaching verse-by-verse through a book of the Bible guards the preacher from obsessive preoccupation with his own cherished themes, which are all too often remote from either the interests or needs of the congregation. 5. Expository preaching insures that the people of God will be fed a full, well-balanced diet of the Word of God. The Scriptures are such that consistent exposition will yield teaching on the full range of theological issues, ethics (both individual and corporate), family obligations, social responsibility, etc.
