Because we are in Christ, there are no longer any hostilities in us that will always exist between those in the world. Ephesians 2:14, “For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall.” We don’t employ the trite, superficial and flawed tactics of the world. Many of them are now championed more than ever in our day. We understand that the blood of Christ has cleansed us from our sin and has adopted us into His family. Thus, we see others different from us as part of the family of God, forgiven as we have been forgiven. We accept each other because God has accepted all of us. Our unity is not what we look like, but rather who we are in Christ. “[Christ] Himself [made] the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity” (Eph. 2:15b-16).

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven at 325.  Place a baking sheet onto middle rack and remove top
rack from oven. Before starting batter, wash 8 (1 pint) wide mouth canning
jars with lids in hot soapy water and let drain, dry, and cool to room
temperature. Generously prepare jars with margarine. In a mixing bowl,
combine margarine, sugar, egg whites, vanilla, almond extract, and
applesauce.  In another mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking
powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients
just until moistened.  Spoon 1 level cupful of batter into each jar.
Carefully wipe rims clean, then place jars on baking sheet (or they'll tip
over) in the center of oven.  Bake 40 minutes. Keep lids in hot water until
they're used.  When cakes are done, remove jars which are HOT from oven one
at a time.  If rims need cleaning, use moistened paper towel. Carefully put
lids and rings in place, then screw tops on tightly shut. Place jars on a
wire rack; they will seal as they! cool.
Once jars are cool, decorate with round pieces of cloth and then glue on
flowers, ribbons, etc. on lid, ring and side of jar.  Unscrew the ring (the
lid should be sealed by now) and place a few cotton balls on top of the lid
(makes it poofy on top), then a piece of cloth (about 3" larger than the
lid) on top and screw the ring back on. Decorate as desired (example
pinking shears).

A Message from our Provider:

“Jesus: beaten so that you could be unbeatable”

Biblical church discipline is simple obedience to God and a simple confession that we need help. We cannot live the Christian life alone. Our purpose in church discipline is positive for the individual disciplined, for other Christians as they see the real danger of sin, for the health of the church as a whole, and for the corporate witness of the church to those outside. Most of all, our holiness is to reflect the holiness of God. It should mean something to be a member of the church, not for our pride’s sake but for God’s name’s sake. Biblical church discipline is a mark of a healthy church.
