The Word of God tells us that Christ’s church is glorious... [But] today the glory of the church is thickly veiled. It is no exaggeration to assert that in the main it presents a picture of advanced decadence and extreme feebleness... Let it be said emphatically, the church is where the truth is. Sound doctrine always has been, is today, and ever will be the foremost mark of the true church. But who dares to assert that there is today in the churches a rising tide of interest in doctrine? By and large people do not go to church to learn about God from His infallible Word, but to be tranquilized. And that the glory of God is both the beginning and the end of common worship does not seem to occur to them.

INSTRUCTIONS

Recipe by: The Bean Cookbook, by Judith Choate Soak, rinse, and cook chick
peas.  Do not allow beans to get too soft. When tender but still firm,
remove from heat and drain well. Pat dry.
Preheat oven to 375F.  Melt butter in medium-sized saucepan over low heat.
Add vegetable oil and garlic and allow to sit for 5 minutes, keeping warm.
Pour butter into large baking tray with sides.  Spread dried chick peas on
tray.  Bake 15 minutes, turning frequently, or until chick peas are golden.
While chick peas are baking, combine spices and herbs. When chick peas are
done, remove from oven and sprinkle with herbs and spices and toss to coat.
Serve warm.

The cookbook also suggests that other combinations of herbs and spices
would work, for example, a combination of chili powder, cumin, and cayenne.

“Forgiveness is not automatic”

Arguments in Favor of Euthanasia: 1. Personhood – The argument is simple: someone in an irreversible coma is no longer a person but only a biological organism. The distinction is often made between a person’s biological life, or physical existence, and one’s biographical life, or the aspects of one’s life that make it meaningful. One’s biographical life is the sum total of one's goals, desires, dreams, plans, accomplishments and relationships. Medical science has made it possible to retain one’s biological life after having lost one’s biographical life. Thus the individual exists only as a body, having lost the essence of what it is that makes him/her a person. Hence it is not murder to terminate what remains of one’s mere biological existence. 2. Quality of Life – In cases of unrelenting and unrelievable suffering where there is no reasonable hope of improvement, life ceases to be worth living. In such cases, an individual or his/her family ought to be free to say “enough is enough” and put an end to such incessant misery. No one should be compelled to live a life that they no longer regard as life worth living. 3. Mercy – We extend mercy to animals when we put them out of their misery. Why should we be less merciful to humans? 4. Utilitarian concerns – Most people cannot afford to underwrite the expense of keeping a terminally ill or comatose person alive. To do so places an unfair burden on other members of the family. Why should tax dollars and precious hospital space and technology be expended to perpetuate the life of someone who will never function in society again when there are other, potentially productive people, who cannot receive proper care?
