We Love God!

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

The divine Son, one of the three persons of the one God, He through whom, from the beginning of the creation, the Father has revealed Himself to man (John 1:18), took man’s nature upon Him, and so became our representative. He offered Himself as a sacrifice in our stead, bearing our sin in His own body on the tree. He suffered, not only awful physical anguish, but also the unthinkable spiritual horror of becoming identified with the sin to which He was infinitely opposed. He thereby came under the curse of sin, so that for a time even His perfect fellowship with His Father was broken. Thus God proclaimed His infinite abhorrence of sin by being willing Himself to suffer all that, in place of the guilty ones, in order that He might justly forgive. Thus the love of God found its perfect fulfillment, because He did not hold back from even that uttermost sacrifice, in order that we might be saved form eternal death through what He endured. Thus it was possible for Him to be just, and to justify the believer, because as Lawgiver and as Substitute for the rebel race of man, He Himself had suffered the penalty of the broken law.

Coffee Crackers

January 22, 2023

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
		Crackers	45	Servings

INGREDIENTS

3/4	c	All-purpose flour
3/4	c	Oat flour
1/4	c	Sugar
4	tb	(1/2 stick) butter or
		Margarine, softened
1/3	c	Strong brewed coffee,
		Cooled

INSTRUCTIONS

"The pronounced flavor of freshly brewed coffee makes these crackers an
extraordinary treat. They are versatile enough for a champagne brunch or a
light dessert after a satisfying meal. 325~F. 12 to 18 minutes Preheat the
oven to 325~F.
Mix the flours and sugar together in a large bowl or in the food processor.
Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add the coffee and blend to form a dough that will hold together in a
cohesive ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a
floured surface or pastry cloth, roll out to 1/8 inch thick. With a sharp
knife or cookie cutter, cut into 2-inch shapes.
Place the crackers on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Prick each one all the way through in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a
fork. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, or until the crackers are medium brown.
Cool on a rack. Yield: 40-45.
VARIATIONS: If you like your coffee a little sweeter, lightly and evenly
sprinkle the rolled dough with sugar and roll over it lightly with your
rolling pin before cutting. For crunchiness, add 1/2 cup cracked wheat with
the flour.
Add 1 Tablespoon grated lemon zest to the flour. To prepare the zest,
lightly grate the skin of a medium-sized lemon against the fine grate of a
cheese grater. Use only the colored part. The underlying white portion is
bitter.
