Cranberry-pear-ginger Sauce

1. The altar call too easily confuses the physical act of “coming forward” (walking an aisle) with the spiritual act of “coming to Christ” (repentance and belief). 2. This confusion deceives people about their spiritual state. 3. This confusion often obscures the requirements of repentance and belief. 4. This confusion encourages people to base their assurance on a one-time event. 5. This confusion brings false converts with false assurance into the church’s membership. 6. The altar call makes conversion look like a work of man, when in fact it is a work of God. 7. The altar call confuses people regarding sacred space [that the front of the church is more sacred than any other place]. 8. The altar call confuses “coming forward” with baptism. 9. The altar call distracts Christians from the main point of the service.

INSTRUCTIONS

Makes about 1-1/2 quarts  Tori Ritchie found this recipe in a dusty old
community cookbook from  Saint Louis. She says people love it so much,
they literally spoon it  out of the bowl to eat, turkey be damned. Tori
is the author of Cabin  Cooking (Time Life, 1998).  Place all
ingredients, except liqueur, in a heavy 4-quart saucepan and  bring to
a boil over medium-high heat, stirring once or twice to  incorporate
sugar. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered,  stirring
occasionally, until thickened and cranberries are soft,  about 45
minutes. Remove from heat, stir in orange liqueur, and let  cool. Cover
and chill until ready to use. (Serves 12 generously, with  leftovers
for sandwiches. Or for eating by the spoonful.)  VEGAN  PER 1/2-CUP:

1. As Yahweh, God is self-existent, having life in and of Himself (Ex 3:14; John 5:26). 2. God existed before all things, and through Him alone all things exist (Ps. 90:2; 1 Cor. 8:6; Rev. 4:11). 3. God is Lord of all (Deut. 10:17; Josh. 3:13). 4. He depends on nothing; all things depend on Him (Rom. 11:36). 5. He is the source of everything (Deut. 32:39; Isa. 45:5—7; 54:16; John 5:26; 1 Cor. 8:6). 6. He does as He wills (Ps. 115:3; Isa. 46:10-11; 64:8; Jer. 18:6; Dan. 4:35; Rom. 9:19-21; Eph. 1:5; Rev. 4:11). 7. His counsel is the basis of everything (Ps. 33:10—11; Prov. 19:21; Isa. 46:10; Matt. 11:25-26; Acts 2:23; 4:27-28; Eph. 1:5, 9, 11). 8. He does everything for His own sake (Josh. 7:9; 1 Sam. 12:22; Psm. 25:11; 31:3; 79:9; 106:8; 109:21; 143:11; Prov. 16:4; Isa. 48:9; Jer. 14:7, 21; Ezek. 20:9, 14, 22, 44; Dan. 9:19). 9. He needs nothing, being all-sufficient (Job 22:2—3; Acts 17:25). 10. He is the first and the last (Isa. 41:4; 44:6; 48:12; Rev. 1:8; 21:6; 22:13). 11. He is independent in His mind (Rom. 11:33—35), His will (Dan. 4:35; Rom. 9:19; Eph. 1:5; Rev. 4:11), His counsel (Ps. 33:11; Isa. 46:10), His love (Hos. 14:4), and His power (Ps. 115:3).
