Name: Banana Rice Pudding Served with a Raspberry Coulis
Ingredients: 1/2 pt Milk; 1 Inch vanilla pod; 1 oz Pudding rice; 1/2 oz Caster sugar; 1 pn Cinnamon; 2 tb Creme fraiche; 1/2 tb Honey; 1 Banana; mashed; 1 oz Brown sugar; 375 g Raspberries; 1 1/2 oz Icing sugar

Scripture never tells us to forgive ourselves. When we try to “forgive” ourselves, we are attempting the impossible. Forgiveness assumes an innocent party has been wronged, and it is the job of the person who has been wronged to forgive. The offending party is the one that receives forgiveness. We are the offender; God is the one who has been wronged, since our sin is rebellion against Him. By focusing on forgiving ourselves, we have taken the spotlight off of God and pointed it at us – making it doubly difficult to let go of our sin! He has forgiven us. We must simply receive that forgiveness and rest in it. That means releasing those sins we want to hold on to, refusing to revisit them in our minds, and allowing the truth of our forgiveness to cover us with His peace. Absolution from the Lord is far more powerful than absolution from oneself.

RASPBERRY SAUCE
Place milk into saucepan with vanilla pod, bring to the boil. Pour in

Raspberry sauce:
Place raspberries in a food processor with the icing sugar and blend
to a smooth pouring consistency. Strain the sauce to remove the seeds
and put aside.

brown sugar and place under the grill.
Place ramekin on to a plate and decorate with the sauce. Garnish with
fresh sprigs of mint.

A Message from our Provider:

“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us. #Augustine”

Many wonderful and godly saints have suggested that evangelism is the best and only hope for changing people's minds about abortion. Merely changing someone's mind about abortion (without getting them saved), they argue, does no good in the long run. "They will simply go to hell as a more moral person." While this is true as it applies to the parent, such reasoning wholly neglects the person whose life hangs in the balance, and for this reason, such logic is faulty… If we only rely on evangelism as a means of changing people's minds and behavior concerning abortion, then all those people who do not repent and believe (which is the vast majority) will continue to kill their children en masse. If, however, we also educate young people about what abortion actually is and who unborn humans actually are, then they will be far less likely to abort their children, even if they ultimately reject salvation. The external morality which results will not make a difference for their souls on the Day of Judgment, but it will make a HUGE difference in the lives of their children, children who would have otherwise been destroyed.
