There is a kind of cavalier attitude toward our security today. There is little trembling. Little vigilance and earnestness and caution and watchfulness over our souls. There is a kind of casual, slack, careless attitude toward the possibility that we might make shipwreck of our faith and fail to lay hold on eternal life. We have the notion that security is a kind of mechanical, automatic thing. We prayed once to receive Jesus. We are safe and there is no place for 'working out your salvation with fear and trembling' (Philippians 2:12).

CAKE: Preheat oven to 350F.  Combine liquid ingredients in a large bowl &
whisk well.  Sift dry ingredients together & whisk into liquid mixture.
Pour into greased & floured 9" cake tin & bake for 35 minutes or until
springy.
Cool cake completely & remove from pan.  With a serrated knife, cut cake
horizontally to make 3 thin layers.
SYRUP: Combine first 3 ingredients in a small pot & boil for 3 minutes. Let
cool & then add kirsch.
ICING: In a blender, combine cashews, water & vanilla.  Blend till smooth &
creamy.  Add honey & tofu & blend again.  Set aside 2 c for the vanilla
icing to go on top & sides of cake. To the rest of the mixture, add melted
chocolate & 3 tb of syrup.  Blend till smooth.  Chill both icings before
using.
TO ASSEMBLE: Carefully remove the top two layers of cake.  Brush some syrup
onto bottom layer & spread half of chocolate icing over it.  Place the
middle cake layer on top & brush with syrup & icing. Put down a layer of
cherries & dot with a little vanilla icing to help the top layer stick.
Place the top layer on the cherries & brush again with syrup. Frost top &
sides with vanilla icing. Decorate with cherries & pipe rosettes if
desired.
Chill several hours before serving.  The cake can be kept covered if not
being served till the following day.  However, the frosting may discolour
after about 3 days.

A Message from our Provider:

“Forgiveness is not automatic”

[The preacher’s] aim…will be to stand under Scripture, not over it, and to allow it, so to speak, to talk through him, delivering what is not so much his message as its. In our preaching, that is what should always be happening. In his obituary of the great German conductor, Otto Klemperer, Neville Cardus spoke of the way in which Klemperer “set the music in motion,” maintaining throughout a deliberately anonymous, self-effacing style in order that the musical notes might articulate themselves in their own integrity through him. So it must be in preaching; Scripture itself must do all the talking, and the preacher’s task is simply to “set the Bible in motion.”
