INSTRUCTIONS

Here are a few tips for baking your own crackers: 1. If you have cracker
dough stored in the freezer, it's like money in the bank for
spur-of-the-moment entertaining. 2. Baking sheets lined with parchment
paper make easy work of cleanup. 3. Keep an eye on the oven because baking
time may vary with each batch, depending on the heat and placement of the
sheets. 4. Crackers store well in airtight containers, but last even better
if frozen. 5. Homemade crackers usually are not as crispy as commercial
varieties.  If they get a little limp hours or days after baking, revive
them by heating in a 275 degree oven. 6. To reheat or crisp crackers, bake
on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes.

A Message from our Provider:

“You’re never too young for God”

The “gift” or “baptism” of the Spirit, one of the distinctive blessings of the new covenant, is a universal blessing for members of the new covenant, because it is an initial blessing. It is part and parcel to belonging to the new age. The Lord Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant and the bestower of its blessings, gives both the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Spirit to all who enter his covenant. Further, baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.

John Stott

Our Lord requires us to take up our cross and follow Him, and there are many testimonies to the blessedness of godly self-denial. Biblically it is not an attempt to gain forgiveness or spirituality through self-abasement. Rather it is the willing response of a heart dedicated to serving Christ at any cost. Asceticism is a different matter. It is motivated by pride rather than humility, and it is an attempt to accomplish in the energy of the flesh a right relationship with God, which can be brought about only by a divine transformation through faith in Jesus Christ.

John MacArthur
