Why do men not accept the gospel? How can they refuse the tender overtures of the gracious Son of God? Why do they even take offense at the cross? Let us consider an analogy. An etiquette book is a very valuable accessory. It is useful on many important occasions. A good one costs considerable money. Who would not be glad to have one, if it were given him? You wouldn't? Why wouldn't you be glad to be given such a book? Because it would imply you needed it! That is the reason proud sinners do not come to Christ. Their coming would imply they needed Him. They are too proud and self-righteous in their natural state to admit that!

INSTRUCTIONS

Here you go Linda. I got a new cookbook yesterday, Better Homes and Gardens
75 Years of All-Time Favorites and here's a recipe from that book.......
In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and
cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl beat butter, margarine, or shortening with an
electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add the 1 cup of
sugar; beat until fluffy. Add the egg and molasses; beat well. Stir dry
mixture into egg mixture.
Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (1 heaping tablespoons dough each). Roll
balls in the 2 tablespoons sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheets about
2 1/2    inches apart.
Bake in a 350 degree oven about 10 minutes or until light brown but still
puffed. (Do not overbake.) Let stand on cookie sheets for 2 minutes;
transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Makes 24 cookies.
