God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

In that day when we stand before the judgment seat of Christ, the whole “edifice” of our earthly works will be tested by the fire of God. Some impressive superstructures will be reduced to rubble, because they are built only for show – not out of lasting material. Like sets on a movie lot, these “buildings” may be magnificent and appear genuine even on close inspection, but the fire will test them for what they are really made of, not for what they look like. All the wood, hay and stubble will be burned away.

John MacArthur

The Lord gave only ten commandments for all of life. In the Garden of Eden there was just one rule. Obedience centered around it, and the penalty was clearly spelled out… Long before the sin, God said, “Don’t; but if you do, this will be the consequence.” And when it happened, He followed through… God clearly sets forth His will. He lays out the rules, and He says what the penalty will be before the infraction takes place. When the transgression happens, He follows through. That is the basis for all consistent discipline as it appears in the Word of God. In spite of our sinful failures, we must more and more train our children God’s way.

From: pilchuck!pilchuck!phred!earl@coco.ms.washington.edu (choo choo
earl)  Date: 11 Aug 93 19:41:09 GMT I know this is early for Christmas
recipes, but that's just how it happened. This is a recipe for a very
good "fruitcake" my mom used to make. The interesting thing is the
amount of Brazil nuts involved. We used to have a gathering and all
pitch in to crack the nuts. The formula for shelling them is  included.
Enjoy  To shell the nuts easily, cover with cold water, bring to a
boil, and  boil 3 minutes. Drain and cover with cold water, then drain
again.  Crack and remove whole nut.  DIRECTIONS:  Put whole nuts,
dates, and cherries into a large mixing  bowl. Sift over this the dry
ingredients.  Mix well until coated.  Beat eggs until foamy, add
vanilla and stir into fruit mixture. Turn  into a greased and waxed
paper lined pan (9 1/2 X 5 1/2 X 2 1/2).  Spread evenly. The pan will
be full. Bake in slow oven (300 degrees)  for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
The cake must be entirely cool before cutting.  It will keep for a
long time if you can keep the fingers out of it. Wrap and store as
with any fruit cake.  Note: To store a fruitcake, the way I remember is
to take some clean  rags, soak them in wine, and wrap the cake.  This
is then wrapped in  aluminum foil, and the whole thing put into a
plastic bag. A  fruitcake stored this way will last several years.
