God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Apostles were chosen by God to work in the founding and forming of the church, after which time apostleship ceased. When all the apostles had died, the office of apostle no longer existed. They were selected, sent and empowered by God for that period in the history of the church, which was over when their lives were over. As the human founders and foundation of the church, the apostles had particular purposes and responsibilities.
Five young college students were spending a Sunday in London, so they went to hear the famed C.H. Spurgeon preach. While waiting for the doors to open, the students were greeted by a man who asked, "Gentlemen, let me show you around. Would you like to see the heating plant of this church?" They were not particularly interested, for it was a hot day in July. But they didn't want to offend the stranger, so they consented. The young men were taken down a stairway, a door was quietly opened, and their guide whispered, "This is our heating plant." Surprised, the students saw 700 people bowed in prayer, seeking a blessing on the service that was soon to begin in the auditorium above. Softly closing the door, the gentleman then introduced himself. It was none other than Charles Spurgeon.
"Buckwheat flour is available in health food and specialty stores. It has a
musty, earthy flavor which gives an interesting twist to this simple,
traditional flatbread-style cracker. It goes well with fruit and cheese. In
the food processor or in a large bowl, combine the flours and salt. In a
slow stream, stir in enough of the water to form a soft, but not sticky,
dough.
Remove to a well-floured surface or pastry cloth and knead lightly. Cut the
dough into 6 equal portions and roll each piece into a large, thin circle,
approximately 1/16 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter. Prick each circle
all over with the tines of a fork.
To cook, gently place the circles, one at a time, on a hot griddle or saute
pan. Cook over medium heat until pale brown spots begin to develop on the
underside of the cracker, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the cracker to cook the
second side. Continue flipping in this manner until the cracker feels dry
and crisp. Remove to a rack to cool. If upon cooling the cracker remains
slightly pliable, you may return it to the pan for further cooking, or
place in a preheated 350~F. oven for a few minutes, until fully "dried
out." Yield: 6.
VARIATIONS: For a crunchier cracker, add 1/3 cup buckwheat groats and
increase the water slightly.
Buckwheat has a strong flavor. According to your taste, you may wish to
increase the all-purpose flour and decrease the amount of buckwheat.
