Name: Date Cookies
Ingredients: 2 c Chopped dates; 2 1/2 c Rolled oats; 2 1/2 c Cake flour; 1 c Brown sugar; 1/2 c Cold water; 1 c Butter or butter substitute; 1/2 c Hot water; 1 ts Baking soda; 1 c Sugar; 1/4 ts Salt

The bottom line is that we are all hardwired to reject the complete and freely given righteousness of God in a desire to establish our own righteousness (Rom. 10:3). Like Adam and Eve, we search frantically for fig leaves to cover our spiritual nakedness. We think we need to do stuff or rest on our past spiritual achievements to receive God’s love. Deceived by our pride and our feelings, we rob glory from Jesus Christ and seek to find a false sense of peace in our own adequacy.
