Name: Back-Of-The-Stove Baked Beans
Ingredients: 5 Bacon; 1 Large onions; diced; 2 White beans; rinsed, drained; 1 c Chicken broth; 1/2 c Molasses; 1/4 c Tomato paste; 1/4 c Brown sugar; 1 1/2 ts Dried prepared mustard; 1/2 ts Salt; 1/2 ts Black pepper; freshly ground

Most of us find comfort in being told that we are going to go on living; [the apostle] Paul was comforted when he was told that he would soon be dying [see Philippians 1:21]! He kept referring to death as that which was 'far better.' The fact that we don't view death with optimism just might be because we think of death as taking us from our home rather than bringing is to our home! Unlike Paul, we have become so attached to our tent that we just don't want to move.

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus Christ! The answer is on everyone’s lips”

The secret of a believer’s holy walk is his continual recurrence to the blood of the Surety, and his daily [communion] with a crucified and risen Lord. All divine life, and all precious fruits of it, pardon, peace, and holiness, spring from the cross. All fancied sanctification which does not arise wholly from the blood of the cross is nothing better than Pharisaism. If we would be holy, we must get to the cross, and dwell there; else, notwithstanding all our labor, diligence, fasting, praying and good works, we shall be yet void of real sanctification, destitute of those humble, gracious tempers which accompany a clear view of the cross.

Horatius Bonar
