Though we have been forgiven, and though we have been made new in Christ, we’re like Lazarus. We came out of the grave; we have new life, but we stink. We have our dirty grave clothes on. We are a new creation, incarcerated in unredeemed flesh. And we are seduced by the remnants of our fallenness. Satan’s temptation to us is to hold onto sin and not come to righteousness. Satan’s temptation to us is to hold onto the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

John MacArthur

INSTRUCTIONS

Here is an english muffin recipe that I got from Pillsbury's The complete
book of baking. My kids love them.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water (105 to 115 F). Add 3 cups
flour, sugar, salt and shortening to yeast mixture, stirring by hand until
moistened. Stir vigorously by hand until smooth. Gradually add remaining 2
to 3 cups flour to form a stiff dough, beating well after each addition. On
floured surface, gently knead dough 5 to 6 times until no longer sticky.
Roll dough to 1/4 to 3/8 inch thickness; cut with floured 3 to 4-inch round
cutter. Sprinkle cornmeal evenly over 2 ungreased cookie sheets. Place
cut-out dough on cornmeal; sprinkle with additional cornmeal. Cover loosely
with plastic wrap and cloth towel. Let rise in warm place until light,
about 30 to 45 minutes. Heat griddle to 350 degrees F. With wide spatula,
invert dough onto ungreased griddle. Bake 5 to 6 minutes on each side or
until light golden brown; cool. Split in half and toast before surving.
Spread with margarine. Yield: 18 to 26 muffins
