God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Why is it that so many professing Christians make no spiritual progress, and indeed make no efforts to grow in grace? Why? Because they care nothing about it! To take up a “mere profession” is all they desire; but to proceed from one degree of piety to another; to grow in grace – is no part of their desire... Is it possible to be a Christian and yet destitute of this desire to grow in grace? No, it is not! I tell you, it is not! If you have no concern to grow in grace – there is no grace in you! You are a piece of dead wood – and not a living branch! You are a spiritual corpse – and not a living man! In this state there can be no growth – for dead things never grow!
John Angell James

Taking up one’s cross is not some mystical level of selfless “deeper spiritual life” that only the religious elite can hope to achieve. Nor is it the common trials and hardships that all persons experience sometime in life. A cross is not having an unsaved husband, nagging wife, or domineering mother-in-law. Nor is it having a physical handicap or suffering from an incurable disease. To take up one’s cross is simply to be willing to pay any price for Christ’s sake. It is the willingness to endure shame, embarrassment, reproach, rejection, persecution, and even martyrdom for His sake.
John MacArthur

INGREDIENTS

1 1/3 c Apple juice
2 tb Orange juice concentrate
1 tb Honey
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/3 c Diced apple
1/4 c Wheat gluten
3 1/4 c Whole-wheat flour
1/2 c Oats (I used quick)
3 ts Yeast

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix in the order recommended by your breadmaker.  This uses the
powdered-milk white/wheat setting on the Black & Decker. This makes a
good-sized loaf, and it has a lovely aroma. The apple pieces are
indistinguishable at the end (the bread maker must blend them up).
