Easy Fruit Cake (ovo) – We Love God!

Limiting discipline to behavioral modification by a system of rewards and punishments may be effective in the short term, but may well lead to rebellion in the end. Children are not laboratory rats that can be conditioned by stimuli to behave in a certain way - they are precious and unique creatures of God, who has vested them with personal worth and dignity. If we respect and embrace this larger relational context, we stand a much better chance of reaping a relationship with our child that continues far beyond the childhood and growing-up years.

2	t	Baking powder.

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the apple sauce, water, sugar, and dried fruit in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, then allow to cool.  Set the
oven at 300 deg F (cool). Line a 6-inch round cake tin with
greaseproof paper.  Mix the egg whites into the fruit mixture, then
sift the flour and  baking powder into it too. Mix, adding water if
necessary to make a  stiff batter. Pour into the prepared tin, sprinkle
the top with brown  sugar, and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until a
skewer inserted into  the centre of the cake comes out clean, more or
less - with all this  fruit, it's not going to come out very clean
anyway!  The amount and type of fruit in this recipe can be varied very
much to  produce different results. Many folk in this country would use
sultanas (yellow raisins) for some of the fruit, but I don't like  them
so I don't use them. You can substitute 1/2 cup of chopped glace
cherries for some of the fruit, or add chopped candied orange peel,
dates, apricots... The possibilities are endless.  Posted by

Your body is very special to God. As a matter of fact, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.” The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, the dwelling place of Christ. The body ultimately belongs to Him. Are we being a good steward if we suffer from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol level, and osteoporosis because we chose to abuse or neglect your bodies? How will we give account on the Day of Judgment for this resource? Bodily discipline glorifies the Lord.
