The Reformers correctly viewed purgatory as an insult to Christ’s saving work. On the basis of Scripture they held that all believers “have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (Heb. 10:10). It is by His suffering on the cross, not our suffering after death, that sins are purged: “Jesus also suffered…to make the people holy through His own blood” (Heb. 13:12). The Reformers also noted how Scripture does not allow for a “third place.” Jesus and His apostles consistently speak of only two destinies for humans: heaven and hell (Matt. 25:46; John 5:28-29; Rom. 2:6-10; Rev. 21:7-9; 22:14-15).

INSTRUCTIONS

Spice up a meal with this simple, but delicious recipe from The Eating Well
Rush Hour Cookbook by the editors of Eating Well Magazine (Thomas Allen &
Son, $22.95 paperback).
1. Preheat oven to 450F. Slice tops off onions and peel, leaving root ends.
Cut each onion into 8 wedges, taking care to slice through the root so the
wedges stay intact.
2. Place the onions in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish and toss
with oil. Spread them out in a single layer. Pour vinegar over the onions
and sprinkle with salt. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes or
until almost tender. Uncover and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more or until the
onions are soft and caramelized on the bottom. Serves 4.

A Message from our Provider:

“That man is truly happy who can say of all his substances, be it little or be it much, ‘The Lord gave it to me’. #Charles Spurgeon.”

AA has been helpful for many people. It provides accountability, mutual understanding in an environment that doesn’t judge and wonderful support for many people. It does not, however, strive to find distinctively biblical answers to the problems of life. As a result, it is bound to have some problems: 1. Its disease model doesn’t really let anyone get to the heart of the matter… When we examine our hearts, we find is that the greatest danger is that we are hooked on ourselves… This means that even if I give up alcohol, unless I deal head on with my biggest problem, I will never truly find freedom. I will just find something else to serve my desires. 2. Its theory of change does not reveal the against-God nature of the addictive behavior. Even though we are not always consciously aware that our addictions are disobedient before God, the reality is that they are. 3. Jesus is optional. If it is true that addictive behavior is rebellion against divine authority, then addicts have no hope but to run to Jesus for forgiveness, cleansing, and power.
