God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
First, faith believes God when He says that sexual relations in marriage are good and clean and should be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Second, faith increases the joy of sexual relations in marriage because it frees us from the guilt of the past. Faith believes the promise that Christ died for all our sins, that in Him we might have guilt-free, Christ-exalting sexual relations in marriage. And finally, faith wields the weapon of sexual intercourse against Satan. A married couple gives a severe blow to the head of that ancient serpent when they aim to give as much sexual satisfaction to each other as possible. Is it not a mark of amazing grace that on top of all the pleasure that the sexual side of marriage brings, it also proves to be a fearsome weapon against our ancient foe?... It is not surprising then that Satan’s defeat, Christ’s glory, and our pleasure should come together in this undefiled marriage bed.

Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease a baking tray with melted butter or
margarine.
Sift flours and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl. Use
sufficient buttermilk to moisten the ingredients and form a soft dough the
amount of buttermilk required will depend on the strength of the flour.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly untill smooth. Place
round on a greased baking tray. With a floured knife score a deep cross,
one third of the depth of the dough. Brush with water and sprinkle with a
little flour.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until bread sounds hollow when tapped with the
fingers.

give rise, texture and flavour. If buttermilk is unavailable use sour milk.
