Cornmeal Cake With Sweet Rosemary Syrup And Blackberries

When I speak of “means,” I have in view Bible-reading, private prayer, regular attendance on public worship, regular hearing of God’s Word, and regular reception of the Lord’s Supper. I lay it down as a simple matter of fact, that no one who is careless about such things must ever expect to make much progress in sanctification. I can find no record of any eminent saint who ever neglected them. They are appointed channels through which the Holy Spirit conveys fresh supplies of grace to the soul, and strengthens the work which He has begun in the inward man. Let men call this legal doctrine if they please, but I will never shrink from declaring my belief that there are no “spiritual gains without pains”… Our God is a God who works by means, and He will never bless the soul of that man who pretends to be so high and spiritual that he can get on without them.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350F. and butter and flour an 8- by 2-inch round cake
pan.  In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and
sugar  until light and fluffy. Add remaining cake ingredients and beat
on  low speed until combined. Beat batter on high speed until pale
yellow, about 3 minutes.  Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in
middle of oven 40 minutes,  or until a tester comes out with a few
crumbs adhering.  Make Rosemary Syrup while cake is baking.  Cool cake
in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Invert cake onto hand and  return, right
side up, to rack. While cake is still warm, gradually  brush 1/3 cup
syrup over it, allowing syrup to soak in before adding  more. Chill
remaining syrup in a small pitcher, covered. Syrup-soaked  cake may be
made 1 day ahead and kept wrapped in plastic wrap at room  temperature.
Serve cake, cut into wedges, with whipped cream, blackberries, and
remaining rosemary syrup.  Gourmet June 1995  Converted by MC_Buster.

Jesus knew that if there had been any conceivable way whereby God could have redeemed the world other than by the horrible death of His Son, God would never have resorted to such an expedient. He knew that there never could be any other name given under Heaven whereby men must be saved. He knew there was none other good enough to pay the price of sin; none other could open the door and let us in. Jesus knew that if those dear ones whom He had left were to drink of the vine again with Him in the kingdom of God, there was but one way – He must drink of the cup of God's wrath.
